9E is not bad enough to drive you to be suicidal but until we get a fair contract that mgmt will abide by I will continue to advise people to go elsewhere. Part of being professional is not getting on public forums to vent. We have a company forum where everyone can get on and say "you would not believe how scheduling tried to schedule me to do 14 legs in one day..." or whatever other BS occured. There everyone is on the same level. Here and other public forums are not places to go spouting off personal issues and IMO complaints that others can see right through as being egotistical.
Pilots by trade are type-A personalities and we have all been guilty at one point or another of having an ego trip. The original post and the spark that lit the fuse in this thread was a junior FO with not enough time to upgrade complaining about not upgrading instantly and having bad QOL. In the last few pages of this post we have all discussed the actual issues with the original poster and I think he knows how the program was actually designed.
Moral of the post is know the facts and be professional and you will get good advice and thoughts on a public board.
