Smile Let's keep this positive

I agree with Da Magic's original post. The best forums are those where pilots actually help each other instead of using middle school playground antics to bully, call names, and put people down. The big point is, you can't blame the pilots for decisions of corporations. Many of the people bashing "scabs" would probably also take the job if they had similar circumstances. Many may have entered the industry at one of the non-union airlines that they then turn around and spend so much time bashing. If someone used to work at one of those places, don't bash the current pilots for being "stupid" if you did the same thing.
With that said, there is a positive way to deal with these issues and educate entry level pilots on the consequences of their choices. If we cannot come together, then we are not helping anything. Those who would seek to keep downward pressure on our pay, benefits, retirement plans, and QOL are the only ones who benefit from our bickering. Let's keep this positive.
