I am sure life was much easier in your previous airline (VARIG), the one that was bled right into bankruptcy by its own employees, pilots included...
Quoting varigflyer: I hate where I am at now(TAM). Definately the worst flying job I've ever had. Bad pay, no CRM, people with attitudes and no communication to management. It's a one way street here. We have no say over our schedules, equipment we fly, days off etc.
