I can totally sympathize with your frustrations, but honestly guys, our pay structure and lifestyle has been the same for a long time so applying to the airlines and then being frustrated by the reality simply means you didn't do your research.
You wish you would move up if I quit. There aren't many people that would move up if I quit, I doubt you are one of them
Seriously though, its not the work/pay relationship, its the attitude displayed from the above people that has me mad. It is blatant and total disregard for their employees' QOL, which they want people to think they care about.
Oh, and everything BHopper said. It's a shame that we pilots are so willing to deal with so much crap just to do what we "love". The fact that so many other SKW pilots disagree with me on that is frightening. The "shut up junior, you gotta pay your dues" attitude is rampant here. We need to fight to re-gain the QOL that SKW was once know for. That goes for everybody on the seniority list, not just the most senior.
