You get paid a pretty good salary to fly well-maintained airplanes to a nice hotel to drink beer. I don't get it. Have a nice weekend and try to enjoy life.

Thanks, but no. I'll pass on that one.

....you also assume a staggering liability for harm to passengers, property, and that well-maintained airplane every time you push back from the gate. A liability that you, PD, and me (a SWA pilot) are all at present woe-fully under-compensated for. Please do not begrudge anyone for not being satisfied with status quo while trying to make this a better profession. Maybe it's a great military retirement gig for you, but to many of us it is still a career.

I'm here for--and I'm utterly convinced we can achieve-- "more money and more time with my family."
"Pretty good" is not good enough, and although I immensely enjoy craft IPAs and small-batch bourbon, I am most certainly not here for "nice hotels and beer," neither of which pay for my kid's braces or fund my retirement account.
