We are weaker as pilots if we let the ignorant or misinformed keep stirring the pot.
Again, I say BS. The only people who buy into that “we’re the best” stuff are management dorks. Every line guy I know from UA, DL, AA, SW, UPS, FDX all know we’re cut from the same cloth. We all snicker at that nonsense. You gotta be pretty insecure if you let some dumb banner hanging in Flt ops bother you. Anyway, these aren’t just rumors They’re leaks from a rep. Now, we can discuss whether or not he should have leaked the info(the correct answer is shouldn’t, although I’m glad he did) but the leaked pay rates are enough to start a conversation.
