Well, well well.....
Mr.767 I'm glad you put in that comment about your 2cents worth at the bottom of your post because thats about as much as your post is worth.
Let me guess! You drive an AA 767 based in Miami and your wages have been slashed to shreads and youre about as mad as hell. So you should be. But just thank Christ almighty that your whining ass isnt strapped to a 767 in Asia, Europe or near about anywhere else in the world. The Jet Blue's and especially the Southwests of Europe certainly arent making what you Americans are. How about you try and live on commuter wages while flying a 737 for Air Asia. No matter how bad you think your sorry ass has it in the land of milk and honey there chief, it aint anywhere near as bad as most other aviators around the world. Pull your head in.
I have done my share of flighting the degradation of wages and conditions both in the US and abroad. I dont like it any more than you do. But here we have a young Italian guy whos weighing up the choice to take a shot at a job in Aviation Mecca....the good ol US of A. Now if you really werent so friggin selfish maybe you should encourage these guys and THANK them for seeking a turboprop job for $30-40k rather than the 737 job in Asia for the same money that you know as well as I do brings down the price of pilots globally.
Things arent that rosey up your end of the industry there chief and it sucks ass that all you legacy carriers are getting raped. Take it out on those that are raping you...cos right now these guys coming to the states and taking advantage of very healthy regional and corporate sectors are doing you a favour!
Just try and be a little bit positive.....we all know the risks of loosing our jobs...there are those that have been furloughed and those that will...thankfully I have been through 1 furlough already so I only have 2 to go.....
Divide and concour....business is war.....how does that help our young Italian friend????
