Leather Jackets suck, like your Blackhawks do.

All I'm trying to say is that the anger is pointless guys.... So the anger is an exercise in futility justified or not.
But the point of this thread was to try to get some of us to realize that being angry with pilots for making bad career decisions, or for being employed with airlines that undercut other companies is getting us nowhere.... The anger is gonna have to end before any progress will ever be made. The blame game is a vicious circle. And it serves no purpose.
That's exactly right. They are only out for themselves. And that's the way it should be. And that's what this country was based on.
Is it right, as a company, to take advantage of that and pay people dirt wages? I don't think so.
I have to agree with RSG. Pissing people off by yelling at them about their career choices isn't going to get them onboard with your cause. We all want higher wages and there are several factors as to why we don't have them. Sure, stonewalling on salaries will do something to raise salaries, but it will also require airlines to cut the number of pilots, among other cost-cutting measures.But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side of the Force, are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
RSG, are you a Jedi???
Joking aside, I do agree with you about your point on anger and hostility, although I happen to agree with most of the folks arguing with you about the industry and what should be done about it.
Communist!
Elevating self-interest to the morality of the land will just give us more messes like the current financial crisis.
blah, blah, blah
Don't you have a MKE trip to fly?
Yeah but if you piss people off then they not only won't listen with an objective ear but they will have zero respect for your position. Thus zero communication occurs making the debate pointless.
