What can pilots do for a living? Sell cars. Sell real estate. Sell stocks. Drive trucks. Pretty much anything. They are mostly intelligent, trainable individuals who could do pretty much anything they choose to. Instead, B6 scab wannabes chose to (remember the time frame - 2000) take a job at a non-Union shop that was undercutting Union payscales by up to $80 an hour for a narrowbody Captain seat. Why? Some were Regional guys who saw the opportunity for a big jet and a quick upgrade. They didn't know any better. The worst were the ALPA furloughees who KNEW they were taking a job undercutting ALPA. They didn't care. Me. ME. ME. Was their mantra. They were too lazy to get up and do something different. They were content to stab Unionized pilots in the back. Let's examine what has happened since they set the bar for narrowbody Captains at $129, no retirement and no benefits. United and USAir managers saw they could get pilots to fly for chicken feed. So where is their pay/ retirement now? That's right. B6 land. You can call me all the names you want, but the bottom line is B6 lowered the bar and every Ford and Harrison inspired airline manager followed suit. Cause and effect. For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. It applies to the airline business as well. They are all a bunch of copycats using the same playbook. And if you don't believe that, you are one ignorant ostrich with your head in the sand. |
Oh, boys...

Do you think all problems can be solved with love, sex, respect for others and a positive outlook on life? Yeah, you're probably right! |
