It's entertaining to listen to pilots moan about equality and social movements and yet they pay their own money to line up in droves at Gay and Women pilot conventions...
Don't forget OBAP! But hey if everyone can't attend and event sponsored by an organization seeking equal opportunity...;)

The problem with an ideology is that even if you have all the facts on your side you will never be able to have a reasonable and open discussion regarding the facts because the other side will see it as a personal attack on them and what makes them who they are. Death penalty, abortion, politics, and religion didn't used to be ideologies but isn't it funny that all 4 of those topics are now so tied in with politics. Just because you don't like the message doesn't make it false.

Sad part is, we will have to wait till the next "recession" to have more people wake up to the fact that we're being systematically robbed of our livelihood. They can only take so much until there is nothing left though. The 1% has 51% of the worlds wealth right now and it is exponentially increasing. What happens when the 1% has 99.99999% of the world's wealth? If you ain't in that club, things aren't going to be pretty for you. Well, more likely for your children and grandchildren.
I honestly have to thank Doug Parker for waking me up. I mean to have a guy threaten to take your job away if you don't give him more money during record profits is greed on a whole new level. While running to the bank with a huge bonus. They atleast had a choice, and voted the wrong way. Millions of hard working people do not. They have concessions shoved down their throat without question.
No, I didn't work for any of those WO carriers.

The video link no longer works, but the documentary is called Requiem for the American Dream. I guess it's on Netflix too.

This thread is the best explanation for the race to the bottom.
