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.
I expected backlash from my post, but the civility of this response made me realize how judgmental I was. You're right, and it is easy to criticize when not enduring a hardship. 727574, I really hope you're able to find work, and I'm sure you will with the resume you have. Good luck to you.
