vtpilotmj said:This subject makes my blood boil. We are professionals, we FLY airplanes, not CLEAN airplanes. Does an executive clean the company's bathrooms? Pilots who work for companies who have this type of culture are not only hurting their own careers, they are hurting the rest of our careers and I take it personally. JetBlue and their "we are all equal" attitude is complete BS. I don't give a crap if Needleman cleans the bathrooms or throws bags. It's for publicity only. I feel pilots who defend this are sellouts. Sellouts to themselves, sellouts to other professional pilots, and sellouts to the whole profession.
Professionals do what it takes to get the job done.
But yes, I suppose you would rather be one of those "I aint doin that $hit" professional pilots who would rather collect unemployment.
Jetblue, Southwest, etc...have created thier own company culture - If you dont like it - dont apply. Maybe you can just apply at UAL, DAL, USAIR etc.....oh....nevermind...
Whats so wrong with pitching in and helping if you have your tasks done and have time to kill?...
Ya know, you might just get your uptight a$$ LAID (wow really!!) if you went back and rapped with those cute F/A's instead of sitting up front bitchin' about the next contract and the sellouts at the successful airlines. (who, by the way, all make more money than you)
350K/yr at UAL is long gone man, adapt or die. Its your choice.
jeeesus...your profile says you fly an EMB145!! How much you make doing that? My guess is the non-professional CLEANING your EMB145 makes more coin than you -- you tool!!! -- but you are the "professional"...yup.
