The fact of the matter is...there are lots of people like you who think they are better than everyone else and therefore deserve better...
but there are more people out there who are happily accepting these degraded conditions...and unless this changes there is not much more we can do
people love listening to what they want to hear and then go ahead and spread this info...like how we are so short on crew that everyone will be in overtime in august (turned out to be false) and that nobody is accepting the offer and crew control is becoming really desparate....
well in reality everything is business as usual and there are more people who are accepting the offer than those who are sucessful then turn it down...
and like i said, as long as people are accepting the offers the comoany won't see a reason to budge.
