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.
Spot on. Most of us have walked the same road or experienced long deployments away from family serving in the military with no guarantee of anything but getting an application in the mail. The bottom line is that United can and should pick who they want. An applicant will have to successfully jump through all of the hoops to gain employment. To work for United an applicant will have to pass a background check, the Hogan, an interview, and a review board. Before any of that takes place the application is reviewed to determine if the applicant is someone worth looking at or a waste of valuable time. How can a person be denied a job that they are not somehow entitled to? Flying for a regional that feeds United doesn’t give one some type of right to employment at the mother ship. Many seem to think that anything other than flow is a slap in the face. I wonder why those with that attitude do poorly in the interview process.

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.

Then go away and enjoy your success and stop bleating about us giving up scope.

My mom used to say, "Self-pride stinks". Bragging about earnings in public is pretty high on the list of pathetic displays of self- worth. Go spank your public monkey elsewhere on your 20 days off.

I think we may be on the cusp of understanding why you've not gotten your mainline job yet...

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.

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.

Of all the times I have agreed with you, this is the time I agree most.
