But they don’t. They’re proud to show pictures of their Porsches, Indian motorcycles, brand new avionics or paint jobs of their airplanes (plural) , I was an MD FO last time and rumor has it WE FOs held the line and brought the company to its knees. This contract, I don’t see it.

That last contract made me realize we all are independent contractors, and I’m not gonna get played again. I even remember standing at the computer and a JSing CA had the balls to call CRS, right in front of everybody, and asked, “ Hello, I’m JSing out, but am available if you need me.” I mean cmon!!! Atleast go outside and call!!!

We get the contract we deserve. Period.
