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

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!

I know exactly how far behind we are. That’s why I’ve voted no for decades now.

The imagery of you stiff arming a 9 year old and then celebrating has me rolling.

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.

Then why do you think it is that for some reason nearly every other domestic and international airline (that’s not a regional) gets pilots from Alaska to their ranks but, for some reason our class breakdown doesn’t ever seem to include one theirs coming here? Wonder why that would be?

JC I get tired of hearing that same old line from AS Captains!!!! The truth is that you guys were asleep at the wheel and never saw everyone passing you. Kasher was a long FN time ago too. Stop it and grow a pair!!

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?
