I highly suggest you quit your job and go straight away to a regional, it seems you have no experience or have forgotten what their schedules are like... I'm vacationing in the Smokey Mountains right now on days off, not even touching my vacation days. I'll be here for 6 days, good luck doing that at a regional or any pax operator that does four day trips, home for 3, etc...
Sounds like a great life on vacation posting on apc company man trying to fill classes with unsuspecting pilots.

".. our industry leading pay.."

Uh, sorry but, that statement is nothing short of Delusional.

Seriously...It's a fairly decent pay scale but, it is nowhere near Industry Leading.

Unless you are comparing it to a different Industry than airlines/aviation. (?)

ACMI
Unsuspecting pilots? Funny, most new guys admit that they hired on as a stepping stone then come to find that they don't want to go anywhere else. I understand the rest of the ACMI world is a bitter bunch and I want nothing more than for them to get a contract better than we have, so we can have leverage in negotiations next go around.
Company man? I'm sure things were much worse before I hired on, but 99% of my existence at K4 has been under the new contract, and if I had to identify an "us vs them" relationship, it would primarily be between travel and the pilots. In my own personal experience, 95% of the time I have no issues. Shenanigans and games do happen to many people but being very polite and being a politician can get you to an agreeable solution.
I mean really, it boils down to the company needing to complete flights, schedulers filling the roster for that flight, travel getting pilots into position, and the pilots seeing $$$$ signs. Everyone is working towards the same end goal.

We have at least one pilot and some ground staff at K4 who have mentally or emotionally challenged children. Apparently you have been living under a rock for the last twenty years and don't know how offensive your "cartoon" will be to them. I'm going to suggest you delete your post before you have to share a cockpit with them.

There is at least two pilots at K4 with special needs children, I am one of them, and this cartoon does not offend me due to the context. However out of the wishes of others, I would delete it if I could.
