Man up, sunshine. Life ain't freaking fair. You want a better life, use the tools available to you. Become the change you want to see.
Until then, shut the &^(!* up. You know who cares about your own benefit? You. Enjoy being an army of one. Phil, Clive and David will pick you off one at a time.
Man up? I think you need to GROW UP. Everyone wonders why pilots in this industry are always "Out for number one". Why someone would take a job at GoJet or Skybus without regard to their fellow pilots.
Why? Because too many fellow pilots are like you.
You are the exact REASON pilots in this industry are looking out for number one. Rather then support each other and treat each other with respect, when a fellow pilot is struggling with whatever it may be, you've got to go kicking him down telling him to "man up". Like you're some kind of macho man bully on the playground. You're the one who needs to shut up.
If we, as PILOTS, are going to build strong UNIONS, then we need leaders who are mature, professional and RESPECTFUL. We will not win the war against management for pay and work rules when we're waging wars against each other.
When you push things on people in a forceful manner, you are pushing them away from what is RIGHT in this industry.
Trust me, I've been in Propilots position at PCNL's stepchild TP carrier. I was told to MAN UP and grow a pair and tough it out. All that does is tick you off more and make you want to do your own thing, for your own good, and say screw everybody else. It does nothing to unite pilots and build a strong Union.
I was in a leadership position in the military, and people with your attitude don't last long. Eventually it will catch up with you. Lead by example, not by force.
