Sure, change is hard and you guys have had to endure most of the change. If you can't put down your "we had it better back in the day" compass and see that we are all better off for this marriage, then, quite frankly, you're a lost cause.
Pilots, by nature, are a bunch of selfish, short-sighted ego maniacs. I get that. I am one. But the constant whining and *****ing on this thread has become old. I really don't care what you think or how much your life sucks now, because you got a pay raise and you still have your retirement. I didn't and I don't. Talk about buyers remorse. Move on. Most of the rest of us have. 3rd grade manuals? You sound like my third grader.
"You got a pay raise, you got a pay raise"...rather than a 3rd grader, this sounds more like the mockingbird outside my window...or Ostrich maybe. I think the jury is still out on how much of a pay raise it was, if any, and whether or not it actually compensates for all the extraneous crap that now seems to be done on our own time.
And I seriously doubt it's short sightedness, since the fNWA guys have actually seen outside the fence. If anything, I'd say the fDAL guys are the one's with the foggles on.
But hey, if you don't like the thread, there's always other places to check out, such as the "Subtle Fiction Writers League", which I was summarily drummed out of when I explained all the crap I do for which I actually get paid.
