Any one know if this is an accurate quote and, if so, the story behind it?
"It's hard for me to feel sorry for them. They're a bunch of spoiled brats. Historically, this has been a really cushy job once you get to the majors. You make a lot of money, and you don't have to fly a lot. But there had to be a market balancing at some point."
--Jeffrey Hefner, Safety Chairman for the union that represents pilots at Southwest Airlines, talking to a New York Times reporter regarding airline pilots having to work longer for less.
