God how am I supposed to pay the mortgage? How am I even going to eat? I mean it's hard enough on Mesa pay, but I get by, albeit barely. I could lose everything. But you know what.... I won't though. Eff this company, and Eff those in upper management. I'll be better off one day than any of them ever hoped they could be. I'll be rich AND happy - something they'll never know. They can't get me down like this.... they aren't going to win.
Unless you're a 10+ year Captain, its not hard to beat ANY regional salary in the real world. If you have a College degree, even if its in aviation, you can find a job in management somewhere and easily make more than this garbage. Home Depot managers make $45k+....thats more than I make pulling gear.
It kills me when I see people at the Regional level ***** about not being able to pay bills if you're company goes under....all it takes is a little bit of effort and a good plan B, and you can make MORE than you do now.
Set a torch to all the Regionals and let'em burn.....
