How would you like it if the FOs all voted, screw CA raises, they have enough, let’s give it all to FOs because they need it worse? Yeah, yeah, I know, the FOs will someday BE CAs (if they don’t lose their medical and if a recession doesn’t cause them to be furloughed or stuck as an FO for ten years or if they don’t get sufficiently PO’d to say ‘screw this, I’m putting in apps elsewhere’) but that doesn’t help them and their families today.

We have indeed met the enemy and he is us when management doesn’t have to divide and conquer us because senior pilots contemptuous of the welfare of our junior pilots do it for us. Seriously, have you no empathy? Or at a minimum, have you no shame?
