I hoped she gained some humility for us lowly 3000 hour mil pilots. We’ve all gone through the suck. We can play the “I had it harder than you” forever. There is always someone out there that had it worse and someone that had it better. Just because you may think you suffered more (nice victim mentality) doesn’t mean we can’t improve things. I tend to agree, our reserve system is far better than most airlines. But it could be improved.
