I understand that we are in a "dog eat dog" world and being an airline pilot is like one massive rat race, everyone scrambling over each other to get to the top.

What I do not understand is why it has to be like this. Why do we have to cut each other's throats and fight with management? I'm not a huge fan of fighting with people. I like to kill'em with kindness But as the days go on and the fighting continues, I start to realize that I am going to have to look out for me and my own first and my colleagues second. Because I know you all will do the same.

As it stands now, I would like to see our industry thrive and return to the good ol' days. But I know that the only way to do that is to keeping pushing forward, eyes to the sky, hoping that your fellow pilots will do the same.
