And seriously, its tough for anyone to take you two seriously about pilot unity (especially when most people have you blocked)

Who is more important? The pilot who flies the plan or the gate agent?

As stated in my OP I didn't write it but I saw it on a different forum and thought it made some really great points that pilots on this site might find interesting. You can pull as many specific sentences out of it that you want and pick them apart, but it is the main message of the post I am trying to convey.

What is the main message of the post? Maybe it would be better if you just tried to say it in your own words. I think you could probably do a really good job of it yourself.

Do I think pilots deserve respect? ........ Yes.
Do I think we should get more money? ........ I'm all for that idea.
Are pilots superior beings? ........
We, especially young people, need to be careful about who we chose for role models. Did you ever wonder how so many good people could have gone along with the Nazi regime? the National Socialist Party had a very intoxicating message. "we are the master race."
It has been a rough couple of weeks out there. We've had to deal with weather and, due to the reduced schedules, every flight seems to be completely full. Commuters are having a hard time getting to work. Non-revving is almost impossible. Has anyone looked out the window and noticed how worn out the other team members look right now? It's hot out there and full planes mean more bags to load. Do you think they have hired extra bag handlers to do the extra work? How about all those oversold flights? That means more angry passengers for gate agents to deal with. Throw in a couple hundred cancellations and some six hour delays. How would you like to spend eight hours being yelled at by angry people?
And then I have to deal with getting my bag count five minutes late (sarcasm here).
The airline industry has changed and it is not going back to the way it was before. It probably won't stay the way it is either. Think about what is involved in collecting a fare for carrying a passenger from point A to point B. We just have a small piece of that action.
