It's like hating someone because they don't own a big house in Cottesloe. Should they walk off the job and stop feeding their families because they feel like they should get paid more?
It's not so much "hating on them" for their current predicament. But an acknowledgement that with the state of the pilot market that there are better opportunities out there, in the contract world, overseas etc. For some the role may suit, I think some who have been overseas for their careers may see it as a "retirement job" to see out their days, but the younger guys and girls can probably see better longer term opportunities.
