You yourself mount up in your cockpit everyday,you yourself are directly responsible for the health and well being of those who ride with you.What do you think that trust and confidence is worth? Do you think you are fairly compensated? The only way to ensure adequate and equitable compensation is the collective bargaining process,and yes,the strike is the nuke in the arsenal, the Delta men and ladies have the right to vote to walk if they deem managements actions as intolerable. You should know better than to panic, and swallow management propaganda hook,line,and sinker. God speed,I hope all works out for both the Delta pilots and for you,may you make it to the left seat of the Airbus,or Boeing you desire,cheers.

Anyone who accuses them of looking out for themselves has a shallow view of the situation. The fight going on at Delta will have a profound effect on all of our careers and we should all be a little more careful in criticising something that potentially may stop or reverse this ugly concessionary trend that has gained so much momentum. Step back and look at the big picture and this fight will gain more importance and hopefully more respect for their plight.

First of all Skyhigh, nobody gives a damn what you think. You just keep coming back for more and somehow think we gain from your miserable life - we don't. You have turned this forum into a personal little game of dream destruction and misery propagation. After 600 or 700 posts we get it OK. You must crawl in bed each night just glowing at how much worthless sh!t you spread. I thank God I don't have to be around you or work with you. I can assure you that you would never be in my cockpit more than once. Don't you get it when post after post after post after post tells you to get lost and get a life. How dense are you?
On behalf of the professional pilots on this forum I implore you AGAIN to go away. As of today I will no longer respond or acknowledge any post from this idiot. Any others care to join me?

Any aspiring pilot on this forum can do themselves a huge favor and completely disregard every single thing that is posted from Skyhigh. This is an industry that will survive and be made stronger from the struggles that are going on today. Stick with it and keep the faith.

Pilots are on thing but it doesnt stop there. It is easy to forget about the FA's, cleaners, baggage handlers and mechanics. Just how is that imbalance supposed to continue? We are all here to learn something.

It isn't always simply about low cost.
