Here are some facts you need to accept as an adult; Santa isn’t real, you’re really weren’t the “best kid in the world”, regardless what your parents told you growing up, and you always don’t get what you want when you want it.

“Pay rates and personal gains?” I’m sorry but are we doing this for fun? This is a profession, it’s how we make money; so you’re darn right that pilots care about personal gains and the pay rates that provide them. It’s the reason we go to work, save for retirement, take an X list, it’s for the gains. You think any pilot on this list outside of probation feels bad about personal gains? It’s why we do it.

Complain all you want but your argument is pie-eyed and full of whimsical hope, based in fairly tale land. First year guys got 45% raises and hopefully this place keeps going to provide another 45% increase next fo around.

But spare the hyperbole of how first year pilots are begging for food in the streets. Riddle me how every other pilot did it on $38 and now it’s a travesty that they are doing it now at $57. Never will you convince me that any pilot currently on the seniority list should have taken less this contract so that guys not on the property can have more than a 45% raise.
