The first three words of your post says it all.
I'm not sure what your point is. I'm tired of people saying things that mean nothing and trying to pass it off as relevant/significant/cleaver/substantive.
The ultimate conclusion of your argument is that because someone cares about anything he cares about everything.
The reality of it is that most people care what others think about them, and in many cases that’s a good thing. Not good when some 13 year-old girl throws up her lunch so she can be skinner, but good when it causes people to be kind, responsible et cetera. So maybe this guy cares or maybe he doesn’t even work for RAH; but at any rate I am quite sure that I care to not hear any more childish rants of pseudo-professionals bitching about how they are better than someone else because they work for one company or another. Do you really think there is that much of a difference from a pilot at one airline or another? I’m quite sure that every airline has some really good and some pretty poor pilots. Does the fact that your work rules may be marginally better, or that you make 1-5% more than someone else? Is that how you determine your worth? If so the entire management of Enron is better than you. And don’t come back with some “we’re fighting the good fight” argument. No one airline is the last bastion of hope, professionalism, work ethics and productivity.
My point is this: You are not your airline, you work there and you have a duty to do your best, work hard and do an honest job. (Even when you thing management is screwing you) In doing this you will go far to making your company a good one. But more than that you can be an individual, one who can and should be proud of his or her work. Lets all worry about our selves a little more.
P.S.
Skyboy, much of what I am responding to is not necessarily from you but from all the bitching that my fellow pilots tend to do. So to the extent that my response to you in unjustified, my apologies.
