A pilot can wipe out a year's worth of inflation with a single Greenie. Now if a pilot is more flexible, enterprising and willing to "make hay while the sun is shining" one can set a solid foundation to build wealth.

Never seen a Brinks truck following a hearse.
Your type of thinking is what got us here. 30 years ago this job meant one helluva lifestyle. Nice house, on the water or fly in community. Serious boat at the dock or plane in the hanger. Wife didn’t need to work if she didn’t want to. Kids went to private school. Oh and you had a seriously good pension. 7 weeks vacation with touching trips. Non revving was easy. Oh and you NEVER even heard of somebody getting a GS.
Do you think the job is so much easier that your skills are now worth so much less? We the pilots are to blame for the degradation of our contract. Nobody gets what they deserve, they get what they are willing to fight like hell for.
