Okay, we all know the market place is changing, and in many respects, that sucks. But UConn - and others - are right. Yes, I am a member of ALPA - by force, but I am sick of hearing most of my peers talking like longshoremen. What, should we start slashing tires and breaking legs? I am just as sick as the Lorenzo management style of many airlines as everyone else, but the problem is not with the newhire wanting the same thing we all did. If that's the mindset, then I might as well tell my cheif pilot to only fly me with military pilots, since we were the ones who went through a real training system and ended up getting deployed and leaving our families for the sandbox while most of our 'bretheren' stayed home. God help me if i start to think that way. The fact is someone is always taking someone else's job. Let's figure out how to make money, but lets not forget our roots and love for flying.
