Maybe it's just that I have too many family/friends that are too cheap to fly better but it is what it is.
I am VERY proud to be a pilot - often I'm amazed at the fact that I actually get to do this for a living. And, I'm convinced there are many others that love the job but not the company. There are only so many "employee friendly" companies to go around.
If another F9 pilot told me they liked the company, I would wonder about them....
I love telling people I work at F9, they either love it or hate it... Same way they love or hate any airline or company that does well or screws them over.
Usually they ask some questions and we move on to other topics, it gets old talking about my job. I do enjoy my company to an extent, but it isn't perfect. Same way everyone ****s about their company's good and bad. No company likes employees, they cost money and if they could be replaced, they would, look at all these huge tech companies that were "the best to work for" until about a year ago. It sucks, but it is what it is. I think the biggest issue in our industry is the fact we basically are tied to a company until retirement or BK. It is weird having people asking "Can't you just become a Captain at Delta or United?" "well yeah... but I start at the bottom again below everyone and it will take years to get there again"
