I know some of you Riddle guys I went to school with have a ton of money, or your families do anyway. I would always see you pull up in your BMW's and whatever. Hear people talk about their daddy's airplane. Must be nice. So now that you don't have any money and the money you were "promised" isn't there you are all freaking out. It's your own fault for not being happy with what you chose, not the airlines you work for.
I am all for higher wages and better work rules. I agree it could be a hell of a lot better and we should fight to get what we deserve. Why does it seem so many people want stuff handed to them? Like the airlines are gonna be like, "sure here you go." You have to fight to get what you want. I guess too many people are so used to having everything handed to them on a silver platter. I'm just tired of hearing guys complaining about it. If you don't like it either A: let's do something about it or B: quit so we don't have to hear your whining and open up a spot for the people that want to be here. If you knew what the pay was when you took the job, and didn't like it, then why did you take the job?
I agree with most of your post except that comment. Why are you in it? For your health? And please don't give me that: "I always wanted to be a pilot" crap. You can be a pilot, its called playstation 3. I chose this career to make a living. You are right, I didn't do very good research though. Nevertheless, a job is what you do to make money. This is the job I do. It doesn't pay enough. I don't do it for fun. What I do for fun is limited to my measly couple days off here and there and the few pennies I have left after my bills are paid.
