This is my 3rd contract here, and nothings changed. Yawn. I say take care of yourself and your family, do whatever you feel you need to do. Everyone else is and you’re right, they’re bragging about how much extra theyre doing. , no shame, no humility, hence no contract. The extra flying will eventually dry up and they’ll all complain about our sh!tty TA when we get it. Bottom line, You gotta be able to look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day though.
