I don't understand the just put up with it mentallity aka suck it up thats the main reason contracts suck thease days. See what happens when the new CAL contract is finished will they fight for what they lost or will they bend over and suck it up. I sure the whole fuel price thing is killing profits but thats going to be the what management points to just to save a buck. I wish I did'nt have a reason to b!@#$ but it is what it is.
Bro did you NOT do your research into what a regional or mainline pilot's life was like before jumping into the deep end of the pool???? So you blindly just took an airline pilot job thinking it was all Candyland, money and glamour only to have it dawn on you it isn't? I mean ANYBODY could, within 5 minutes of moderate research, find what its really like in this business. THIS is what p***** me off about all this. People who claim ignorance about life as a pilot then act like they were issued a raw deal once hired.
Now LA County lifeguard....THAT was an easy job!!!!!!
