So in other words you are saying that you are perfectly content with the poverty level wages you are getting paid to do a responsible job, where with every mistake that you make, could mean you losing it?

You are doing a job, that in other parts of the world guys are making more then two times the money you are, doing it. Why should you be doing it for less? Now there are even other airlines out there who are asking for concessions again! Next time you are pushing back, look around you.. you will find any other full-time employee you are surrounded by probably makes more then you.. then take a couple of seconds and think about that. This year I will probably make as much as a flight attendant, how in God's name is the proper?

Don't get anybody here wrong, we are all glad that you are doing well and are happy with your job. But don't go and expect everybody else to be satisfied with it as well, and don't try to convince them that everything is just peachy. You are in a position where you don't care because of an obvious lack of obligations you have to take care of. Wait till you are in a need of money, almost like every other person here, you will be whistling a different tune.

I love to fly, but to be honest I was expecting a little more $$ to pay off some of the debt I have, not to mention save up for something else I am aiming towards. I am single, no kids, no family, no nothing but just me and my debt and I live fine, but cannot save a dime, meaning I am stagnating and not heading towards my goal. I can't imagine having a family.. all while the management of that is screwing you, while your in some hotel on Christmas is flaunting that you work for one of the better regionals out there.... and the worst part is, the majority of the pilots say, hell... we do don't we? Talk about low-standards.
