You truly have a terribly warped view of reality. Major pilots have always fought against us flying aircraft, any aircraft, for $18/hr. That's nothing new. Our mistake was caving in to the fear tactics of corporate destruction if we didn't allow RJ's to feed the hubs, etc. That was the first half of the outsourcing equation. The second half of the outsourcing equation was pilots like you working for the $18/hr in order to build time.

A truly warped and sick view of reality. Maybe you will be cheering, but nobody I know will be. You don't even know what it's like to be furloughed.

Bordering on mental illness.
