Guys, unfortunately the truth does hurt. I dont believe that AA will. .benifit from any financial package, however realistically we do not. .get paid that badly for what we do.. .On the other hand most pilots are only taxi drivers getting us where. .we need to go to do the proper job.. .Without AA who would clean the Sqn and do all the gash jobs because . .certainly on my Sqn most the officers are to jack to clean up after themselves.. .(when we're not moaning about money)
