Sat on a mainline jumpseat lately? Bet you have. Heard anyone complain about how miserable they are, and recount how much better things were back in the day? Bet you see it all the time. Going to mainline will certainly be better, but you will likely find yourself miserable there as well in time.
Personally, I look at airline flying as more of a lifestyle than a job. Yes, our schedules were much better and couldn't get much worse. I hear the same things from my friends at mainline. But my question is, if envoy is so bad...why are you still here? I'll bet there's a few billion people that would give anything to have your job.
Great so you know some whiny AA pilots. Good for you. I'll tell you one thing, when schedules were good here for years, I didn't complain about them. In fact I bragged about them. You sound like another management stooge telling us all pilots are whining and entitled. Do you expect that argument to work on a pilot forum?
Why am I still at envoy? Why do you management stooges always ask that as if you didn't know the answer? So your opinion is that we should just blindly accept whatever happens to our quality of life, no matter how bad it gets.
