Only antagonists ask this question and it appears every time a pilot posts a negative comment about their airline. There is no other reason for asking the question other than to troll for an argument. It is unprofessional and unproductive.

To build on the previous post about why a pilot would decide to stay, there are a lot of reasons that a pilot would not want to leave their company yet would continue to "complain" about their situation (not to mention the fact that many who post negative comments about their company are TRYING to leave but have not yet been able to leave). A sample of these reasons might include: Age, medical, legal, seniority, geographic, family, education, loyalty, financial, professional, emotional, physical, or personal.

There is also the fact that most people who post negative things about their airline (which is a REALLY BIG NUMBER!) want to stay at their airline and fight for improved working conditions. This is why many airline pilots work under good, lucrative contracts these days. They have stayed and fought for better situation rather than running away when things get hard.

Only cowards ask the questions "why are you still at ... " or "why don't you just leave ... ". It's not really a legitimate question about working conditions or opinions about the future of a particular airline. It is a question asked to antagonize and delegitimize someone who posts a critical statement and it is posted by people who only wish to degrade intelligent discussions on APC.
