Yes, you are treated like busdrivers, have been since de-regulation. More hours, but less pay. Mom and pop hotels. The pensions are going along with the hope of a stable retirement. As a representative asked during the hearings regarding the Colgain Air crash after the flt ops stooge said, "We expect our pilots to exhibit professional behavior". "Sir, are professionals expected to live on 16K per year'. So you may continue to see a lapse of professional behavior especially when bending over in the TSA line. Regarding that, a friend said,"well, since FedEx". My thought was it's a good thing jumpseaters are not around any accessable weapons, like crash axes.
