I am all for a better QOL for you but not at my airline's expense.
Few things chapped my rear end more than jump-seating on shiny new planes on routes that I flew (just before UA decided that I needed a break from employment) and listening to happy young pilots educate me on the painful vagaries of the industry and how great their new planes were.

Having spent over a decade as a commuter puke, I feel your pain. But I have no interest in alleviating any of it. I already gave at the office. Over and over. You want a better gig, I get that. Go get it somewhere else. Everyone is hiring and it's a sellers market.

Ya, but his piloting skills must suck. Hope he enjoys that 175...lol

I know I enjoy the profit sharing his low wages helps me get. I wanted a new jet ski.

By the end of the year I will pull in 300K between flying and my business. I average 20 days off a month. My pilot skills and experience is more than what any United passenger deserves. Your profit sharing is what I make in a month.

Reeks of lies. Prove to me you average 20 days off a month and that you are on track to make 300k this year and I’ll mail you a check for $1000. You’re comments read like a 23 year old express new hire on reserve.

Ya, I run a couple of business on the side too. I made $350k just working at United part time. If you are only pulling in 300k at a “real job” you must suck at that one too. My real business are pulling in way more then that!!

I didn’t need the profit sharing but what the hell, you guys and your low salaries bought me a jet ski. Had fun on it this summer.
