It's still a business and as long as you work for someone else of course you'll b***h about something. but some of you on here, if you hate it so much Just leave no one is stopping you. All this we should make more money etc crying is so ridiculous. Yeah you can make more but I'd rather come home to a wife that still loves me and kids who love me. Idk maybe my priorities are different. But the whiners please quit and go away. I hear it in the flight deck sometimes I simply say, just leave no one is stopping you go to Delta, Unitee etc like keep you BS negativity to yourself. And when that happens it's well "ahhh I don't wanna commute or start over," or the " I'll just wait and see what we do with our contract" it's like bro you're such a crying b***h I'm tired of the pessimistic rants. Listen if you're a new hire just take the money, all the nay sayers are salty we don't have a contract yet. Is it coming I'm sure. Could you make good money here yes I've done it many times. Learn the aircraft and fly it well, go to decent places and take care of yourself and family. You work for a company that wants to use you to make profit, so use the company it's simple take your bonus get typed, get experience if you wanna leave cool leave. If not just stick it out make 200k+ a year is it delta no but I rather deal with the cool ppl here than some whiny captain complaining about where's my hat. Sorry this is long winded. But for better words it's not so bad here. I enjoy it. Is it sexy meh idc the checks are good QOL is good and ppl are generally cool. Take that for what it's worth than listening to some 8 year captain cry about why he's not more rich like bro go love on your wife before someone else does.#RantOver
While I agree with a lot of the sentiment in your rant, I do think you are a bit flippantly dismissing the legitimate gripes of some of your co-workers - many of whom came to the airline with the exact same list of pros/cons as you have, but then have watched the company do a 180 on them in many of those areas.
I would love to be home with my wife more. And I was, until the company closed my base, forced me to commute, and then decided to make every trip uncommutable.
Things are always really black and white to people who are in the midst of a “high”.
