All,

Starting this thread was clearly a huge mistake. Too many polarizing opinions to even get into civil discussions. We will never agree on 10% of the issues.

I was simply try to explain, that there are other things to consider sometimes. I had a bad experience jump-seating, then I see these forums and people complaining about our pay. So I made an emotional and rash decision to post.

I wanted to point out the pay is slowly being adjust like JB and SW was. I also wanted to point out SW is now the highest paid after being near the bottom initially. So there is hope for us too.

Me and most of my colleagues are no different than anyone else at other airlines. Most of us, myself included are furloughs from other airlines (Majority Legacies) or have been through 3 or 4 failed carriers. We are just tying to do well for our families, mortgages, kids college funds, our careers, etc,. That being said I love the culture at VX. We all hope the money will come later, for the chance of great seniority until retirement. (yeah right.)

Anyways, I deeply regret starting the thread. I hope nobody was too deeply offended by it in the least; that was completely not the idea behind it.

Cheers.
