Open Climb, I always appreciate your sentiment on here brother and almost always agree with you. But you know very well everything you just listed applies to every airline. US Airways, Continental etc etc etc
You and I will outlive this management group and we better fight for what we are worth keeping this show going on a daily bases

All the crying from the senior citizens in here is because it's all about back in their day. I've been here 2 years it's been pretty smooth. I generally have 0 issue at the company. 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
Here a response from an 8 year ish Captain ..
Amen brother, and we’re glad to have you. I only bid reserve so I can be home with my young family., made a lot less than my hard working class mates but still over 250 last year. Sleep in my own bed 24 days a month average. With about 30 years left could I start over ? Sure but on what planet would I want that. For those who do want that though.. absolutely do it ! Now is the time. We have a lot of issues here. And the company better come to the table. But my life’s is pretty amazing. Once you stop tying your identity to airplanes and the paint scheme on it life becomes a lot calmer. Little less APC and Insta helps a lot with that. Playing castle with your 3 year old daughter is a lot more rewarding than commuting to a cool paint scheme .. For me that is
