"violated any of your safe places" ??? LOL
Perhaps you should re-read your post and our replies.
I think you're right that some of the points the OP brings up are a bit whiny/entitled. However, several of his points are straight up valid points for being disgruntled. And once you're disgruntled, all the other little things pile on.
And what is your definition of 'comments still being made'? Because the thread hadn't been officially closed? Ok, that's fine. It's just odd. Particularly with the one sided slant.

For those who have the character and fortitude to persevere through the hard beginning years of airline experience, a rewarding and lucrative future is theirs. For those with unrealistic expectations, as is the case with this impatient pilot, discouragement and disgruntlement usually follow when those inflated expectations pop. The rest of us are rewarded with a seniority boost.
With that said, we are allowed to voice our opinions. The professionalisms you preach and fortitude you claim we need has proven itself out. We get the job done and we still do it better than most, despite our current predicament . Kudos on an super old thread.

Surprised anyone at mainline is against us making the same as PSA. I realize it feels good to talk down to people making 1/10th of what you do, and teach them hard lessons about life etc, but honestly the less of a discount AA gets us at, the more flying/hiring is going to be at mainline as a proportion of the whole. That’s good for everyone, except those who otherwise wouldn’t be airline pilots if not for the lower hiring standards of the regionals.

Speaking of, there is this one AA guy that commutes from the same town I do, former military too. Every time one of us Envoy guys gets the jumpseat over him because its our equipment, he goes into a loud rant that all can hear about flying ‘these people’ all over the world and he can’t even get on a flight home because of all of us other non-revs take up all the seats. Non-revs hear him, revenue passengers hear him, gate agents hear him. He’s probably one of the guys posting over there complaining.
That’s not to poke at all AA former military guys. We have others that commute too and they’re nice and respectful but your post was so close to on point for him I couldn’t help but laugh.
