Thank you. I'm so sick of the "love it or leave it" people. If all the pilots who care enough to advocate for the strongest gains and an actual top tier contract actually followed the not-so-sage advice of all the new hires on APC and left, then it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the pool of smugly content yes-men left will never break the cycle of crappy contracts this pilot group has been sucked into. Where the sanctimonious "love it or leave it's" see "b%@#&ing and whining," I see people who know exactly how much they deserve trying in vain to convince their peers to push for more.
If we're not here to extract every drop of value out of this career, then what are we here for?
