I also get the "show up, do work, go home, collect paycheck" mentality, but these same guys that say that don't realize or care that we can actually somewhat influence how management runs the company by what we negotiate in our contract.
Yeah it's frustrating. I don't know if it's just resignation or what. A concerted effort to demonstrate how far behind we are might help. Pilots tend to get fired up when they think they're getting screwed. I think there's a serious lack of awareness. Ask the next 10 pilots you fly with to explain our International scope clause. I would be surprised if more than 2 could even summarize it accurately.
