Sounds like pilots are taking it in the beee hind, though, since it seems if you add up all the pre-flight, layover, post-flight, and delay stuff,
if you were getting paid from arrival-at-airport to leaving-airport,
you'd be getting more justifiable pay.
Uhhhhhhh,
SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL THE CEOs/FAA THAT PILOTS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT F UKKING PIECE OF THIS PIE.
Again,
what am I missing here?
Without doctors, there ARE no patients....no patients for the hospitals to provide rooms/lab work/xrays/CAT scans for
Without pilots, there are no passengers to fly around the country.
Of course, patients (medicine)/passengers (airlines) are the most important. And their safety is paramount.
But again, no pilot, no takeoff.
Why this position isn't reveled is making me wanna beat somebody up.
And ya wanna know whats sad?
Know whats more powerful than pilot opinions/ALPA?
All it takes for you to get recognition is for a
Tom Cruise/Angelina Jolie/Harrison Ford to be on a DC-10 emergency landed by Captain Haynes.
Some superficial deity of american life could bring your travesty to the forefront.
