Now that the supply is drying up and the airlines have established, the tide is turning. We are winning back power and conditions will get better. It is cyclic. Look back over the conditions 50 years ago till now. It hasn't always been good.
Heros on here who claim that they are better because they didn't have to pay for endorsements and claim anyone who has paid for endorsements are driving conditions down are intellectually inept and don't even deserve answering to.
I hope I'm never a passenger on one of their aircraft, as they probably don't have the intellectual capacity to think outside the square.

Did you actually go to a pilot factory to learn that "intellectual" response?
You don't think PFT has driven down the ability of the industry to negotiate a livable wage?
You're acting like an alcoholic who is sitting on a park bench blaming the economy why they can't get a job.
The common mistake in all of your own decisions is you, Einstein!
