Your post is confusing. I am firmly in the QOL camp.

My point is that for years we have had people whining that all the premium was gone because the company overhired. Now the VSP’s and ExTO’s took voluntary paycuts to save the company and our headcount is reduced.

The result is the operation is leaner and relies on premium when demand returns, just like the whiners wanted.

And what is the current status in the Pilot lounge? Whine, whine, whine.

So the moral of the story is the Pilot group is going to whine.

As to your comment about “chase the mighty dollar many because they over spend”..... you’ve obviously never met me.
