Why did these people volenteer to work out there then???, they knew the areas into which they would be flying.
MONEY. Bottom line.
They now see what has been an everday occurrance for the past four years as an excuse to push for even more money. Its all well and good trying to pass the blame on everyone else. Hello, take a good look in the mirror. Thats right, theres the reason, you and your greed took you out to those places.
As a previous poster mentioned no one is dragging you into the flight decks to fly, you chose to fly.
No point in whinging about it, when you only have yourselves to blame..
