I'll tell you what. Neither of your relatives isn't going to making major legal or critical engineering decisons at 4:00 am after being awake for 20 hours.
They make those types of choices during meetings from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
I've heard enough of "my old man is still a sharp guy" talk. I flew bizjets with a few. Sharp guys between 10:00am-2:00pm, they faded fast after that period and after long days.
Don't let the facts get in the way.
Okey, I'll bite. Give me the facts. 10:00-4:00 pm. huh, I will give you a challenge. When was the last time you put in a 3200 hourin a year? 120 hours in a week? or 18 hours in a day? We have it extremely easy compared to what they do. But, I am still on the side that we are not adequately compensated for what we do. We just cannot expect the same pay as other professions because there is no comparison. Give it a break that airline pilots are just as hard working as other professions because we are not. We do however need to bring the profession back to the level that is deserved and required to attract the best and brightest.
With that said, I think I am done with this topic.
