Not really. The only thing that is different is we can get a glimpse into their lives. The average person (middle class) carries around a smart phone, has food/clothing/housing, and enough free time to complain. The only thing we don’t have is that private jet and vacations every other week to the Maldives that we see the super rich flaunt on Instagram. It hardly makes 99% of the population “have nots.”

Actually really....the have nots get those things given to them...you pay for it and they complain it's not enough for free...I used to live in a small blue collar town. The factory assembly type businesses would lose a contract and lay people off...when the were recalled it paid 150 a week more than unemployment. They always turned down the recall until unemployment ran out. Entitlement at its finest...go Sanders go!

Because:
1. Full pay in training (others don’t, so factor that in first year pay)
2. Very quick upgrades (factor that into your 10 year plan)
3. Home basing so no crash pads (factor that into cost and QOL)
4. Good people here (again QOL)

It’s not all perfect. That is true, but it’s so far been excellent to me. But to say your willing to work for less, may be misleading.

I would so turn down purp or brown to stay here.

While ATI has a contract / growth etc UPS and Fedex still pay better and QOL will be better and long term career is much better at UPS and Fedex.

Amazon is not the big customer to have - they are ruthless.

100 years ago, the Boston Red Sox became Ruthless, which was later considered a major-league faux pas.

That is just silly. Nobody is saying do that. But in the aviation world, when the music stops, where would you rather be stuck?
A) Regionals
B) ACMI with a foul work environment
C) ULCC

For me, none of the above. ATI is actually a good fit for me. Is for many others too. If purple or brown never call, I’m in a good spot for now.
