I mean, don't look now...but you just hated on the player. Make up your mind.

Jest aside, I agree with you, but you are contradicting yourself. You can't hold both positions; they're mutually exclusive, since it's legal to exploit the benefit in said way(s).

As to your last rhetorical question, I just thought that was a given, and sort of par for the course when it came to airline work. Meaning, airline pilot is the only job I've witnessed in this life where people spend half a lifetime grinding it out for years, under undesirable pay and working conditions in many instances, elbowing each other on a rabid race to some seniority list just to get a job where the primary motivation is to develop an allergy to showing up to work. Paradoxical occupation, to say the least...
