I don't necessarily disagree with you.
I've worked at 135 operations, so I know that regardless what stuff I gave the crew, it's up to the Capt to operate in a safe manner according to the regs, and whether I wanted to believe it or not, lives were not at stake based on what job I did. I took down times, planned swaps, and refiled flight plans with ATC when they dropped. That's it. Of course, the mentioned position has some additional duties.
I appreciate that people are fighting for higher salaries, I really do. I guess I'm getting so tired of pilots just practically killing each other because they "drag the industry down", "are scum that took the lowest possible pay", etc ad nauseum, and it has just started sounding like that in here.
