God I could go on for HOURS. How a bunch of pilots, who you can reasonably assume to be well educated and highly intelligent individuals, can listen to OO management argue that "United and Delta have told us they'll pay more for reliability so quit calling in sick!" And then 3 months later listen to the same managers argue "we can't afford to pay you! We need to remain competitive!"
The number of "we are just a regional" "go to a major if you want better pay" "we should take what we can get" comments I heard...
I'm still friends with many of the FAs I used to work with and they all know me as "the guy who wouldn't shut up about the pay package on social media." Then again...our FAs also make 18 an hour and turn down a pay raise for a free coat...
