What my liberal friends don't seem to understand is that we have a huge target on our backs with the Ds due to the concept of corporate welfare and our salaries. Give Ds full control of government (both houses and POTUS) and they may decide that maximum monthly wage payment via CARES money is $5K/mo.
Neither political party are pilots' friends.
Political status quo is best for those of us in the airline industry at this turbulent time.
I think you hit the nail on the head with the targets on our backs. A little indirect example is most of us didn’t qualify for the stimulus check. Somehow it was dire for the economy, except for us high income earners according to both parties.
