We’re weird people. The number of people I run across who try to work 100+ hours a month… I did it once. Hated it.

I like to get paid 100+ hours. Not a chance I'm flying anywhere close to that.

Seems to be an industry thing. Salary was never talked about, anywhere I worked outside of aviation for 25 years.
In this business it’s a normal thing to talk openly about money. With astonishing tone deafness among others who don’t make nearly as much.
It’s baffling. And rude as hell.
I will say, I don’t like the blanket “never talk about salary” because it’s an old fashioned way to keep labor from getting together and going “hey wait a minute, we’re getting screwed here!”
That said, asking people to read social cues and not talk about money in front of van drivers, rampers, etc who are making way less is apparently too much to ask. That’s then it gets into “dude, read the room” territory.

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
So back to bags... anybody have any experience with that Travelpro Multipurpose tote?

With all due respect, sir, I think my shop and the nut jobs with internet access have the monopoly on weird.

Sorry, Scooter, that's exactly what they're doing.

Americans have problems talking about politics, religion, money and sex because they do not regularly talk about politics, religion, money, and sex.

Eh, I think the problem is more nuanced. I think a lot of Americans conflate politics and religion, blame money and sex for the politics and religion not going the way they want. If they had more sex, they'd likely be a little less pissed about the lack of money, and thus wouldn't be so wrapped around the axle on the politics and religion. The problem is that the politics and religion get in the way of the sex, so they blame money and sex for the sex they aren't having with the partners of their choice.
To my vodka-fueled way of thinking at 2 am, anyway.

I feel like our people love them some straight time 100+ hrs. Like WTF. I do think min ALV will hit the next contract, but there won't be any language about premium because people here don't speak that language. "HELL YEAH I'LL GRAB THAT 2 DAY FOR 10:30 GOBBLESS"
