Just like Democratic Socialism....when the bottom 50% of the voters(who pay NO federal income tax) vote for more "free" sh*t".....the government/company doesn't pay for it......those bearing the tax load do So, if the "less senior" get their "come-uppance, they get a win .....but he senior guys get...nada......that's win/no win Sorry if life's "facts" are too much for you THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH.......... I don’t even think he is one of our pilots. (I hope he isn’t) I think he is a troll and trying to incite anger and vitriol. Stop feeding the troll, please. |

Let's start a letter campaign to not only the company but also ALPA, informing them that the bottom 10% have a crappy QOL and from here on out refuse to fly on....... Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, New Years Eve, New Year's day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, my wife's birthday, my kid's birthday, my dog's birthday, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, Super Bowl Weekend, Halloween, President's Day, Columbus Day, and especially Aviation Day.
