I don't have any idea why Alaska pilots struggle to compare against their peers.

Yes, you're kicking the Home Depot stock boy's *ss in W-2s. That's not the point.

I feel like there's an intentional blind spot that keeps the lifers from acknowledging just how far behind they really are.

I couldn’t agree more! I don’t get it. Maybe a coping mechanism? I mean, no one likes to hear how bad their job sucks compared to their PEERS. Especially when you were part of the group that let it happen. Of course being an airline pilot at an 80+ year old airline is a better job than many other jobs. That is not the point! I’m way better at football than my 9 year old and his friends! I mean, I smoke ‘em! They have no chance of tackling me! I must be awesome!

If you know how far behind you are, then maybe voicing your concerns before the TA ballot hits your inbox is advisable.

"Voting no for decades" doesn't seem to be working.

Exactly. Same Whiney minority over and over. I hit the federal all sources maximum 401k contribution in 2021 as I do every year. That’s more money alone than most people earn in a year. I get 15 days off a month, max savings and cleared well over 300k. I have the maximum insurance of everything that’s offered. Compared to a regular job, I’m not complaining. That said, I still have never voted for any contract here. Things need improvement but it’s hardly the sweat shop whiners wish it to be.

So given that you know that, and has voted no for decades as you say, why are you so condescending to the pilots who have/are expressing their utter frustration, anger and discontent?
