That is not how the stock market works.

You can't ruffle my feathers. I have flawless, glowing skin. You aren't smart enough, or quick enough. Even more proof you are just a dog that's all bark.
Starting pay in 2007 was around $20/hr with no bonus', and some were not paid during training. That's 10 years ago.
So tell us all some more about how bad it is now compared to the "old" days.
How is doubling your pay, flying better equipment, having more choices, and better airport food an "increasing trend of crappy QOL"?

If you really are in your 30's or 40's, and you are still this clueless, it's even more startling. If you are going to keep barking loud nonsense, you should at least admit to being a clueless millennial. That would excuse most of it.

Back to old timers vs millennials huh.
Can't we all just sum it up, agree, and move on..
Millennials want instant gratification and don't want to put in the time that the old guys have.
Old timers want everyone to have to work for nothing and not complain because that's what they had to do.

Really? Telling loudmouth kids to quit whining and complaining when they are making more than double what "old timers" did just 10 years ago is "wanting everyone to have to work for nothing"?

Hard to guess where you fall in this hierarchy.

Actually your guess may not be as close as what you think.
I just may not agree with your way of thinking.

Please tell me your employee number so that I can bid avoid you from now.

Cool story, bruh. I started out flight instructing for $12 under horrendous living conditions, then got into 135 freight. No pay during training, no hotel provided, no transportation. Pay was $27k first year working over time. 24/7 in the middle of the night on call, reserve for one year. Maybe one or two jumpseating agreements and the benefits sucked. It was terrible. What the heck is your point though? We are in the here and now, and we still a have a plethora of QOL issues to fix. Our compensation is also nowhere near industry leading. Have a gander at the Endeavor forum and see their new TA and compare it to the turd that you voted yes to.

How is doubling your pay
That is nowhere near industry leading as it once was (was it ever? Probably not).

flying better equipment,
Try flying AA 200s.... You're obviously flying your comfy ERJ when you say that.

having more choices, and better airport food an "increasing trend of crappy QOL"?
More airport food choice options? HA HA HA HA HA you can't be serious, man.

If you really are in your 30's or 40's, and you are still this clueless, it's even more startling. If you are going to keep barking loud nonsense, you should at least admit to being a clueless millennial. That would excuse most of it.
Might want to check in at your local shrink...you got some issues, pal.
