Or all the people furloughed at Spirit and Air Wisconsin, or the downgrades at JetBlue?
You implied “thing” were disastrous. They were not disastrous for legacy airline pilots by any metric whatsoever. The only tangible difference in my life is my salary doubled, my contract improved and my house and investments increased in value. My safe little suburban neighborhood and the schools are exactly as good as they have been for many decades.
You can say the Biden administration had nothing to do with it, which is probably true and which I didn’t imply at all.
How much were you touting the excellent (though not as good as the last 4 years) stock market under Trump 1.0? “How’s your 401k doing?” was a rebuttle for a lot of liberal complaints back then. You didn’t hear that very much the last four years.
The bottom line is it’s a team sport for you. Anything good that happens in the next 4 years you’ll argue that it’s because your team is in charge, anything bad you’re going to argue it’s a remnant of the “disastrous” prior administration.
To your point about the other pilot groups I said YES, it hasn’t been great for other people, especially those who don’t own their own home or have equity in the market.
