Yeah, Sky, we get that. I simply think you're wrong. That's why I'm here.
I hope that you realize that you are a single guy who has probably one of the best jobs in the country.
The vast majority people will not be able to come even close to getting half of what you have. Is it possible that you could put yourself into their shoes? Imagine what it would be like to be stuck in a strange city and trying to make it on 30K with a family in tow.
You have a rare and unusual situation. You do not represent the needs of the average person or pilot. You do not share a common background with most pilots on this forum. You were not in the military and as far as I know did not fly for a regional.
You have been gainfully employed for most of 20 years now. How can you claim to say that I am wrong when you have not walked a mile in my shoes?
