For me the worst part of the job is worrying about a uncontrolled fire that I can't do anything about, which is due to lack of accountability of the $hit that I am hauling around the four corners of the world.
Next I would say is the fact for almost 4 years we have had 109 colleagues out on a furlough while this company continues to make obscene profits. The last 44 of which at the most cost 8 million a year to bring back while they paid "$185M of cost pressures and refunds associated with much stronger peak season vols" in the past quarter. Management at its best!
Hiring Managers while our guys are out pi$$es me off next.
After that, I would say the fact that they use our contract as toilet paper, where at every turn they find new creative ways to violate our CBA.
When we are done with that I would say spending 18 days out of 28 away from home to work a 75 hour line. I know I don't have to commute to work as some would say but when 80% of our pilots are commuters I really don't want to hear it.
How many more do you want me to list? I have at least a dozen more "worst parts of this job"to list and the guys that whine are not one of them!
Check yourself before you step on your crank on here or on the B&G.

I had to come out of my self imposed retirement from this site to address this! What Fantasy World do you live in?

I can't fricking stand all the negativity. Thankfully I've never heard it in the cockpit. If the job sucks, do something about it. Don't sabotage the union or bad mouth our IPA leadership. Frontseat should get outta Dodge and go where he'll be happy.
