In reality I think all these 135 fleet jobs are close to the same. Pay may vary 5-10 grand, but it's the same thing. Gama, TMC, Jetsuite, Exclusive, whatever.
12-14 hours duty
Why am I in a Holiday Inn Express when there's a Hilton
Garden Inn across the street for $5 more.
Why am I in a middle seat that connects going home at 6pm
after working for 12+hours.
4 hours of duty left and they want you to do a 3 hour drive to
Y from your broken plane in X....
On and on. They all do the same BS.

Don't believe me? Why did TMC start offering an 8/6 schedule again?

"B) Fighting to make the place better so that it's reasonable to stay." That's laughable!!! NO PILOT is a martyr!! LOL!

I'm just trying to understand multiple post over YEARS about how awful an organization is - yet the individual doesn't vote with their feet and stays.
I'm not personally attacking anyone. No one take it that way.
Is it true you can't have a beer? WTF? That's a unique TMC issue.
