with this individual situation I do not understand all the venom.
Score one for management then. Divide and conquer is what it's all about.
Captains are pissed, but you're happy so all is well for you.
Good thing you'll never be a captain then...?
Comparing your situation to whatever hardship others are going through is also exactly what TT and the herd want you to think. Surely you don't think the 'industry news' part of the weekly newsletter is just a random collection of aviation headlines?
Management will ALWAYS seek the lowest common denominator, And if you're happy and satisfied with what you have, then you're paid too much.
Which is why I suppose you're also happy to give away your profit share so they can pay management bonuses, despite the profit?
