I don't see it's as arrogance. I have high expectations for our profession and our compensation levels. I think that's a good thing. I want to see everyone paid accordingly, not just myself.
No offense, taken Andy, its just that in these economic times, with my resume, salary history, education, blah blah blah, I can't even get a minimum wage job. A friend who is ex-ATA L1011 gets his electricity turned off on Tuesday. We spent all day yesterday begging local chuches to provide some temporary relief. I agree with everything you said Andy and yes I am a longtime ALPA member in good standing. Also, many thanks to my other Brother or Sister Pilots on this thread. When better times come for ALL of us then when can wage the war on wage and benefit. Right now I am surviving on Food Stamps and occaisional temp jobs.
