A bit cheesy dont you think? I appreciate the point you are trying to make but your statement comes off as a little self indulgent.
Stickers on the bag? Come on seriously, that is a mark of professionalism and something to be proud of because your bag is sticker free?
....."and when all else fails, there will be a group of the silent and proud who will stand up for whats right and bring justice to where it is needed."

It's simple really: You have two choices. Professional or unprofessional. Will today be the day you choose to look sharp, come prepared, operate by the book and not cut corners, review all material for that leg, work methodically, etc. OR, do the opposite.
It starts and ends with yourself. Take responsibility. Take Pride. Don't use excuses or blame others. Ask yourself if the problem really is with your long sit, your $21,000 a year, etc. Could it be something else?
(And yes, flight case stickers are great, don't think I haven't had my share in the past).

Not really. Professionalism is a choice you make BEFORE you take that job and before you start each day of work. It isn't something you decide to do once you are there (unless you are trying to make yourself over, and by all means...).

Having said that, it is not so easy to say "well go work at McDonalds." Come on guys... we are in this because we love to fly. Not a thing wrong with that. Do what you love to do. And good for you for going after it.
Yes, the paycheck is all wrong. Increase it. Let ticket prices go up. Let jobs be harder to come by. But pay the man up front a decent salary.

When a man makes 21000K, it wears on a family. And this money stress is a catalyst for so many problems. It will hurt a marriage. It will hurt a family.

Without a doubt you are correct. Still, is it an excuse to not act professional? Life is about making tough choices. If your marriage is at risk, than you have to do what you can to fix it. If that means leaving this line of work than so be it.
