This is what I hate about airline pilots.
You really have no idea what my situation is, although you could get one with a little bit of research before popping off with another round of "my airline is, like, the worst EVAR!" But of course, that takes time, and time is in short supply when you have to post another message telling the world you're part of the most oppressed pilot group in the history of aviation and don't you come here you company-drum-banging rah-rah kool-aid drinker!
Maybe you're unaware that it's possible to appreciate how good you've got it relative to other segments of the industry while recognizing the problems where you are and working to better your own position. I recognize that whatever problems I have where I am now, it could be worse. I also know it could be a lot better. I guarantee you that given the choice between having your problems and having my problems, you'd much rather have your problems. I would too. I would much rather be working to better my situation from your position than mine.
