Fatty,
Probably they are just moaning because it becomes quite obvious how under valued our talents and skills are here. We can only measure our company's respect for us by the terms and conditions they impose on us. 98 hard hours in a 28 day month? Does that say something?
After all things considered, housing, education allowance, Foreign tax exemption etc., the best I can come up with is mediocre B737 pay. That does not include the conditions we work under. If I am working now as I was over ten years ago, 70 or so hours a month, and being compensated as I am, and having a life with days off for recovery, I would say fine. But you know that's not the case.
In addition the employees at Delta this year are splitting something along the lines of $1.3 billion for their annual profit share. No, that's not the company's profit, but rather what will be distributed for their employees. What is wrong with this company?
