Set me free, I ain't gonna call for paperwork no more!
Can't we all agree to stop carrying the operation by doing every other employee's assigned tasks? What a bunch of micro-managing control freaks we are. Hardly better than our Vee Pee of FLOPS, Cosmonaut Jerry Sandman!
A pilot isn't a fueler, mechanic, customer service agent, ramp agent, caterer, wheelchair coordinator, or paperwork fetcher. We should allow those employees to have the space and time to do their work, and reap their reward for responsibility (or lack thereof)!
This is a really relaxing job, for those of us who get it. I feel bad for the pilots who try to carry the entire operation on their shoulders. We don't get paid enough to be that stressed. Low pay, no profit sharing, no contract? Chill, mon!
