Seriously these young kids dont even remind me to take off my wedding ring before I go visit my girlfriends on overnights anymore. What kind of team work is that. Now I have to go vote to give up all of my airlines scope to try and keep a little of my well earned retirement.
Nice post. In my opinion, Bush's administration has stolen the american dream... from airline workers too. Years of sweat and hard work for a pilot to become a regional FO just to make as much as a ramper that only trained for a month. Nothing against rampers... I just want to get by!
We need democrats back in the White House to fix this top heavy country we used to call America. Pilot wages should be paid in reference skill, not by supply demand.
Vote Obama. We don't need just two familes in the White House for 7+ terms. Bush Bush Clinton Clinton Bush Bush
Obama!

PS - So yes I do think that new pilots shouldn't have to pay their dues any more than they already have.
