His statement highlights a weakness of pilots as a labor group in general: the vast majority of pilots identify as conservative/libertarian yet their livelihoods depend on the efforts of organized labor. That dissonance sets the stage for often baffling behavior.

The particular guy who made that statement is an avowed libertarian and believer in Q-Anon. He has also been very supportive of the concept of organized labor in general. On the other hand, he is highly skeptical, with good reason, of both SWAPA and corporate management. Mix all of that together, and it sometimes produces thoughts and statements like what he said. He's a good guy, but it's difficult to balance all of those conflicting philosophies.

It's hard to hear all of that when you are facing the very real possibility of a lost job and income a few months from now. I'm really sorry you're in that position. I might be too. A lot of us might be. This whole covid situation sucks on many, many levels. 20 million unemployed so far. 45,000 dead. Who knows how many more? A lot of suck and sadness and fear right now. Understandably, emotions are running high.
