Takes skill to control 3 branches of government while dodging all accountability.

I'd love to know how many guys at the airlines would be showing up for work if they knew they weren't getting a paycheck for a few weeks. The current administration has also threatened to not give back pay, so yeah, I'm sure anyone working for the government is feeling just peachy right now and should just get on with their work.

Last time I checked, airlines aren’t government agencies and pilots aren’t government employees… Capitalism at work. If the airline can’t pay, they go bankrupt.

If the Dems would follow the stroke victim who’s the only sane Democrat, they’d vote yes and get those paychecks delivered.

A lot of us ex mil guys didn't just trip out of bed and fall into 300k.

WorkIng oil field jobs while CFIing on the side. Flying King Airs in crap places for $300 a day (Avenge circa 2014)

yawn…

Night cargo in the winter in an Aztec, $18/hr regional jobs in a 1900. (Average circa 2000)

Did I mention 9/11 or the Great Recession.

Pilots deserve their pay, any pilot who went through the lost decade really deserve it. While pilots of the last ten yoeara complain about 4 yr upgrades, most of us spent 10+ in the right seat of 50 seat jets spread across several regionals and multiple furloughs.

Nobody cares. Work harder

Step 1. Find bootstraps

Step 2. Pull

Cute,

pilots who went through the early 2000’s are literally the embodiment of working hard and pulling themselves up by their boot straps.

Many had wives leave them because of the multiple furloughs, ****tty QOL after 9/11 and zero career progression.

True, nobody cares. I don’t care about 2 yr guys upgrading to $300k, and I don’t expect them to care about 20yrs ago

Nobody cares and yet you still cry about your past struggles. That's because deep down you want someone to care a little bit, regardless of how much you deny it.

See, here's a simple little concept guys like you don't understand: you don't get empathy without giving it too.

"You should care about my struggles but yours don't matter because mine are worse" has never worked.

It’s 2012…You just did your post flight…..it’s a quarter to 1 AM Local time,……your last of 5 segments for the day was LOFT like……you have three voicemails: wife’s divorce attorney, debt collector, and crew scheduling………..cue the cryptic syntho pop……sound like something you’d binge watch people?


I’m sure I speak for Vaxmax as well….it wasn’t enjoyable binge living it.

[mod input] Knock off the partisan politics, please. Go argue whose fault it is elsewhere.
