Sorry, I couldn'r resist...
[ChinaBeached] The 3+ years I was in limbo waiting for the promised offer was nothing but shear HELL. Working short term contract jobs anywhere I could get them in order to bide my time: treated like crap as all of the contract guys were by way of rosters, routes and general conditions.

From where I am sitting you've just done your own C-Scale without even knowing it. Why didn't you march into the Chief Pilots office and demand equitable treatment... Or leave because you're allowing the industry to degrade your skills?
Hypocrite much?
(Ok, I am done now. I'm too busy working my 3rd job to spend time arguing on the internet)
