"how hard we work", you know how weak and entitled you sound?
I like the "management scum" insult though. It's very funny.
Typical embellishment of a management type. Your numbers and presumptions are so far off there is no way you are a line pilot. A typical 7 day tour for most of us entails 80-90 hours of duty, crew swaps, mid tour airlines, legit AOGs, missing crew food (try flying a jet without fuel- no different than the human element), screw ups from Bridgeway that are left up to the crew to fix, etc.
Yes, there is a very small minority who fit your description, as there are in every department in every company. However, pilots are a getterdone type personality. I've been flying more than 40 years in both civilian and military environments so I feel I have a pretty good sampling of the realities on the line. Including 5 separate fleets at EJA/NJA. Your diatribes are most telling, as are the other "slips" to your arguments. Go back to your cubical. I hope you're better at your real job than you are at this game.
