The only demographic that really falls in that category are career mil with no airline experience, and even then those that say "quit whining and vote yes, your job is easy, you make 6 figures and nobody cares" are usually the exception, not the rule.
Not trying to turn this into a mil vs civ urination match, but I’m not sure why you’d think that’s true when they are throwing $35K per year bonuses at mil pilots who are telling them to pound sand.
