Yes WILEY, many on this site do not agree with my views because they have very short sighted views toward aviation in general and the airlines they work for in particular. Generally, their only concern is....how much can I squeeze out of the company while working the fewest days. And airline managements are determined to resist at every turn, and expect the Federal government to bail them out when times are tough, as they are now. And to make matters worse, these same airlines turn to the lowest bidder for security, a shameful situation.
Many pilots think that the airlines they work for are bottomless money pits. They will soon find out otherwise.
