I am willing to bet that if you were in their position, you would have done exactly the same and gone to Network if the only alternative was to take another job that paid even less. So get down off your pedestal and understand that we do NOT all have the same choices.
I think most people on this thread understand that. But I think the bigger issue is the sycophants who go into fly an a320 for $360... There is a difference between accepting a job for the time being and then accepting $360 to fly an A320 on a day off. You can earn $360 + a day driving forklifts at Toll on Horrie miller drive. You can get $42 an hour as a trailer tug driver at Toll. Everyone has had to take jobs that are less than ideal, but then to encourage managenent that the EA is more than desirable is wrong.
