I am trying to understand this industry and pilot labor....
The pilots are the highly trained, educated, and hard working professionals who safely fly millions of perfect (in terms of safety) hours per year....the record speaks for itself. Additionally, pilots spend their entire career with the same airline whenever possible.
Management makes countless mistakes, each one costing millions if not billions of dollars. Furthermore, many don't even spend their entire career with one airline, or even one industry, they come and go with the wind. If our performance as pilots matched the performance of airline management, how safe would flying be?
And who is taking the pay cuts??? That's what pilots get for 2 of the safest years in the history of commercial air travel? Aren't we doing our part? Am I missing something?
