"Three of the basic human emotions are greed, fear and greed." - Hawkeye
Sorry for those who are too young to have really appreciated season one of MASH, but Hawkeye's words ring true after more than 30 years.
When every pilot stops operating on the three basic emotions of the simian brain, and starts using their cerebral cortex's instead, then we may advance OUR profession.
We are up against
management that have had the time to use their cerebral cortex's and are patiently hacking away at our conditions by playing to those emotions of pilots rather than their intellects. Sorry to say but they are making us look like a bunch of apes.
Stop it with the petty point-scoring. Who cares whose feelings got hurt years ago? Get unified or end up getting paid the peanuts that monkeys deserve.
I am talking to ALL interested pilot parties here.
