Of course the big reason Harry was asked to leave was he kept insisting that all jet aircraft regardless of size should be flown by the mainline. He went to battle over the issue and sadly lost.

Is it wrong to resent the fact that my employer is finding it appropriate to send me a card, to advise me on how to use my profit-sharing payment? Is it weird to find it even more absurd that they have the nerve to suggest I put it in my 401(k)?
Or is my humility failing me right now? |

Timbo, how do you explain the other employee groups not having costs at the top of the industry like the pilots?
There are always some things one group has that another does not. Overall however we do better then most of the other employees. As a example I don't know of any employees getting double pay for overtime. |

Why is this industry so different when it is US that are taking plane loads of folks home so that THEY can be with their loved ones, while WE are sitting in a hotel room munching on power bars because the only thing open is a stop and rob or a shwarma place? I am not complaining on one level, because I didn't have to fly this trip, but somebody did, and somebody would have been away from home on straight, or worse yet, reserve pay. And I'll betcha that if only one of the days over a holiday trip paid double, they would go senior. Anyway you try to spin it, it ain't right.
Both make my eyes happy. |

T, Personal opinion only, but I think it goes back to the days when we were compensated at a much higher level. Back in those days we did not really need holiday pay since we were already compensated in line with other professionals such as doctors and lawyers. Well fast forward 15/20 /30 years and guess what? Our compensation has not kept up with other professionals, for numerous reasons beyond the scope of this post, and we never quite pushed the issue of holiday pay. Maybe the time is now or at least 2016? Scoop |
and if anyone complains about an over sized picture of Emma Stone....
