They make billions off of our backs and then file by and will throw you under the bus quicker than they can hop in their Ferrari and quote a scripture. (Reverend BB pun intended). Screw that. Are we not the bread and butter to their millions? Why are they entitled to so much while paying us chump change in return? It is because we all have modern day type a personalities. What does this mean? Betas. You are all betas. To sit idly and do nothing while our bosses make triple or even quintuple our annual salaries? At what point do you draw the line and say enough? At what point do you realize we are only forced to "not strike because of RLA, excuse, excuse, etc"? Screw that. We have the right to put a stop to it and we should. Regardless, it will never happen as there are no true type a personalities in aviation anymore. Just overweight, underpaid, under appreciated, peasants that do nothing as they are trampled upon. Glad I got out when I did. I now enjoy the freedom of telling my superiors how I feel when asked to do something illegal. I tell them no. I have that freedom and luxury to do so. Thankfully, I am a respected professional and it has not come to that point. However, if it does, I stand ready to defend what I have earned and worked for and suffered for. I deserve the best this life has to offer and since this life is not a rehearsal, I refuse to live a life of mediocrity.
