Also, I'm sure the Unions haven't sold anyone out in all of their representation.... Keep drinking the koolaide and you will always stay an FO
FYI. check my profile dude. I FO occosionaly. The majority of the time I fly single pilot charters. And I went to ATP and tought at American Flyers. I have been around the industry nearly my entire life I know what it takes to make it to the top and hope to be there some day. If I do make it there and a guy shows up with PFJ in his logbook, the interview will be over! Do I feel pasionate about this topic? You bet. I don't need some spoiled rich kid ruining for those of us who have to work for what we have.

Your argument is the same as West Point or any Service Academy v.s. ROTC. Give me a break and quit thinking of yourself first and do some good in the world of 121.
Thats the difference between you and me. I will NEVER fly 121. I have had in previous and still have a very personal relationship with my boss. He's the kind of guy that makes sure we are taken care of. The kind of boss that invites you and your family to his house for a BBQ. The kind of boss that if you call in sick, you don't have to stand infront of him and explain yourself. The kind of boss you don't need union protection from.
I'd love to post more, but I am texting from my phone right now. When I get back to CA at my computer I'll post more.
