Of course, I am referring to our fellow pilots that have no sympathy for the plight of our fellow aviation workers, and our fellow Americans, the TSA Agents.
While I have had some bad experiences with certain TSA agents in my time, the overwhelming majority were respectful, if not downright pleasant. I realize that this is not always the case, but when ANY fellow American is faced with the prospect of losing their ability to house and feed their family, they definitely deserve our respect and sympathy.
The fact that I even have to post this is downright sad....
Sorry I consider the tsa a fellow aviation worker as much as I consider the janitor a fellow aviation worker. I’ve got other friends who work in the federal government (park rangers) and it’s just part of the gig. They get great benefits and this comes with the territory. Tsa is one of the biggest jokes of our federal budget.
