No it is not. If one is unhappy with the company they work for they are free to leave. We actually don’t disagree at all. My statement is true. Your statement is true for the typical American pilot. They will whine and moan with a silver spoon in my mouth. I see no problem constantly trying to raise the bar through direct actions. This however, is not what most pilots do.

I am not signaling you out as I don’t know you so please don’t be insulted. A lot of pilots have never had another career and had to deal with the trials and tribulations of the everyday grind. For the amount of actual work a pilot does, most are compensated very well. If you have an effective Union, your pay is reflective of your revenue generating potential. (UPS is a good example).

The double edge sword is, that money does not bring career satisfaction. (K4 is an example of an airline that gives you some of both). It is a day to give thanks for the things that are truly important in your life.
