I often heard something similar to that when I was in the Army. Last time I checked, every pilot here pays taxes, so we will just be bailing our own a$$ out. Thanks for your support, Richard Cranium.

I think Yogurt is a non-pilot airline employee who, it seems, is blindly believing the propaganda put out by the company, i.e. that pilot cost is what is standing between Delta and world domination. Most employees are able to remember who has lied to them in the past: management.

While I see some animosity toward pilots on the line, I see a surprising amount of support for our cause.
