But what ALPA carriers have is an enforceable contract written without vagueness and single source interpretation, i.e. by management. ALPA carriers have a legal team at their disposal if the contract wasn't being complied with or at the very least it could be taken to court if the side of management and the pilot side looked at it different ways.
We don't have one damn thing!
We have zero protection!
But we a wonderful open door policy that is the envy of all carriers which is why we as a group of 5000+ pilots have it all figured out against the 60,000+ other pilots that have decided to protect themselves. I'm so proud! (((BARF)))

The house now has more value and if you do decide to sell, it will be a nicer home for whoever buys it.

Not everybody appreciates rainbow accent walls or battleship gray hallways like the Custom hotel

Maybe some people don't view cars as investments. The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. Rather than waste my money on lattes and avocado toast, I'll blow it on horsepower and whiskey. When she gives the Okay it'll either be a Hellcat Redeye, Mid-Engine Corvette, Camaro ZL1 or Porche.

Kind of like working at a regional airline. Both analogies work. And when you combine the two points of the analogy, it makes total sense.
