I find it very interesting that when US airline's pilot's contracts become public information, the media and uneducated public is very quick to attack the profession as being highly overpaid.
Yet, many foreign airlines use US airline contracts or pay rates as a model when they negotiate for their own contract. With that in mind, I do not see where my original request is offensive, considering that most of this information probably has been posted previously or is public information via other means. Our profession has been been very good at supporting and respecting our fellow brothers all over the world.
Therefore, why the hostility when such a reasonable question is asked?
And yes, I am an airline pilot who still has a job, but not by much!
cheers,
