You work at a company that has more than it's share of that type that lowered the standard in our industry. Whats your point? Do you get in their face and tell them that in the crew room? Do you walk up to every JetBlue pilot and tell them that? How about every Frontier, Airtran, or Spirit pilot?
Besides, if you were over 50, like I said, what would you do? Say to yourself "screw my family, kids, house, wife, my CA's seat, and the 6 figure income. I'm going to go to CAL so I can make 30k the first year, and when I'm 55 I might be making what I was when I-Air folded. All because I wanna "hold the line" and not "lower the standard of the industry."
And no, I don't agree with scabbing. In case you haven't noticed yet, these guys haven't crossed a picket line.
