Not even close DB. Go drink a nice cup of shut the F up. Some folks actually have plans for when the industry takes a downturn. Do you or did you blow 80k at ATP just to make $16 an hour some place?

No it makes perfect sense. If I can get a job elsewhere with better work rules and better pay I will go do that job verses voting for a concessionary contract. If it means I have to get out of aviation either permanently or temporarily that is fine. I refuse to continue to dumb down the wages in the hope that some day things will get better. If you are willing to work for less I can't stop you. Look at the folks at American and other major airlines. Look at how much they have lost and will never get it back. How does your retirement account look? What about the amount of debt you owe? Maybe your finances are just fine but others are in deep sh!t because wages continue to spiral down.
I am done. I know I can't convince you to change your mind. Go work for free so you can brag to everyone about how you are an airline pilot.
However, like most of the rest of us out there, I need this job to make it financially. I spent $30k at [insert state college] and now have loans to pay off, and other financial obligations.
Therefore, I don't have the luxury of being so cavalier with my own and my fellow pilots' future.
It likely won't come to this for me, but I'd much rather take a pay cut and keep my job than be faced with having no job and starting all over again at square one somewhere else in a tough job market.
That's just my take though. I'm a SkyWest pilot and not aquainted with meaningless buzzwords such as "solidarity."
Like I said, hopefully someday I'll be out of this industry.
So long as you get yours huh?But until then, I'd say remaining employed is better than not.
Yeah this is all SkyWests Fault! It they bought XJT things would have been much better... or wait is it the other way around. I mean they're all a$$holes just look at the handful of posts on FI, they must all be like that......
You typin' from the unemployment line?How's the view from under Jerry's desk?
