I'm glad the new hires get/got all of the money and incentives because it means this industry is changing, but not fast enough. The companies need to keep up instead of reacting. Treat us fair and pay us what we are worth.
I am not saying shut up and take it, I am saying stop b!tching so much, all I here from new hires is how bad things are. Yes things are bad but what I was trying to say is that there was a time when things were a lot worse then they are now, and those that experienced it are the ones you are complaining to. They understand and then some.
What I also think is funny is when people are shocked when things change in this industry from what they were expecting..If anything, change has always existed in aviation and it changes overnight. So having to commute is normal in ones airline career.
Also so many complain but do nothing about it, they continue to not understand the contract, make scheduling adhere to it, continue to help the company by going above and beyond etc.
