Dear unionized airline pilots,

For guys who only work 85 hours a month and get all sorts of benefits and salary, you sure do whine a lot. What is it that you want? I think a lot of you are bitter because you are unsatisfied with where you work. But, look again, at the guys who work the starbucks at the airport, who fuel up the plane, the ticket counter agents. Is your job so bad now?
You get paid nice salaries to fly some of the finest aircraft ever produced. Isn't that why you got into flying in the first place?
But a lot of you older guys have done nothing else but fly since you were 15, so you have lost your perspective. Many younger pilots, let's say 30 and up, are actually doing piloting as a second career, so they have a tendency to be more grateful for their opportunities to fly for a major airline.

I will be a pilot one day. If I can get even as much as $30,000 a year to captain a cutting edge aircraft, I will be grateful as anything for the opportunity to do what I have always wanted to do.
