Look at EVERY major airline right now after 9/11.

Back after they got their contract, EVERYONE wanted to be at UAL.

Not a valid point Tim.

I push, push, push, to give my very best to the airline and the customer and the crews that work with me. Recently with the layoffs I have had to fly with management and other line pilot's as FO. I was amazed how they just sit back and let things happen and don't seem to care, even management. Very frustrating situation, I do everything and more to the list that is referred to in the beginnning of this thread. These captain's get paid the exact same amount of money that I do. After mulling on the subject this weekend I came across this thread. If I have been given the God given abilities to do "all of the above" and do it safetly then I have a moral responsibility to do my best and carry-on. I also have the moral responsibility to assume that my fellow captains are also trying their best and if they come up operationally short then hopefully I make up for the windfall. So I say I will do my best and I come home exhausted but that is the only satifaction that I get from my work. Maybe my doing my best may cost me my job someday but there is more to life then a job, I will throw my badge on the chief pilot's desk and walk away with my head high, I gave it a 110% and that is all that matters in the end.

A lot of you are missing the point. It is not about the money, it is about a company that violates contract on a regular basis, cuts the pilot group to the bone and then junior mans the pilots to cover their over optimistic schedule,says that we are working together and then turns down every proposal to mitigate furloughs, recalls flight attendants and then a month later gives them a furlough notice without warning. It is this type of management that we are talking about. I have said it before, do not critisize until you have worked for four years with a contract that is continually broken. It is still happening now and it wears you down. We continue to be a professional pilot group, but does not mean that we have to be a happy pilot group. We hope things will change as we approach a new contract but until then we have a justification to be upset.
