JamesBond,

What is enlightening is the fact that our company is still losing money every day and you're already back here whining about something that happened 15-20 years ago. We didn't reduce your pay rates and take your pension. The company did. Stop trying to put all of this on the backs of junior pilots. We had nothing to do with it, and you honestly cannot expect people who make half of what you do to give up some of their compensation so you can have more. Move on. Don't tell me that my career is going to be great and so much better than yours so I can afford it either. I think the last year proved that that line of thinking is pure drivel.

I'll never forget the captains who told me that being furloughed is part of the job and that I'll be ok in the long run. There didn't seem to be much sympathy from people like you when I was going to lose my house and livelihood. That 20-03 vote was pretty interesting too. It really looked like senior guys didn't want to do a thing to ensure my life didn't crumble. So, why on earth do you think I need to make you richer after going through that? Most of the country lost their pensions in the 2000s. No one except for maybe government employees has been able to retain or get their pensions back. You are living in a dream world and are only bringing division amongst the pilot group.

Showing up on property and seeing my training pay rate and realizing I had to pay for my own hotel while in initial training told me exactly what I needed to know about how much the senior pilots were willing to take care of the junior pilots. None of you spent a waking moment caring about stuff like that. I'm sorry that you didn't get as much as you thought you would for retirement. That sounds like what happens to the majority of people on this planet though.

YOUR attitude and the incessant whining by deadzoners like you is extremely off-putting. Oh, and your timing to bring all of this up is impeccable too!
