Well now I see you are self employed so let the rest of us fight for fair wages.
Doctors are not taking pay cuts because snot nose punks with rich daddies are paying for Med School. Why should we take a cut. When those same punks think $15,000 a year is enough to fly airplanes.
Shutting the airline down is a damn good idea and if management thought for one minute the pilots would do it things would never get this far out of hand. It would be thier pockets that would be getting thin. Not the flight crews and mechanics.
If you want poverty stricken pilots flying your family around so be it not me thank you. We have worked and continue to work too hard and too long to get here and then have to listen to someone say I'll do it for less because the President and 40 other VP's can't keep the beech house if they don't get the bonuses. It's Bull**** and it MUST STOP!!!!!!!
On a 45 minute trip the other day the captain and I figured everyone in the back paid the the flight crew less than $3 each. That may be something on a 747 but on a beech 1900 or even a EMB 145 that is not enough.
I say these Bastards should have to go through recurrent training every 6 months on running an airline and if they fail put them on the street with a black mark on their resume.
Best Wishes to the Mesaba guys. I'll walk with you when JO tries screwing us again.
