I wouldn't go that far, BD...

but thanks for the vote of confidence...
Just by virtue of its size NJA
does impact the industry. Likewise, the other fracs have the power to support the gains that have been made by the larger frac companies. By
whatever means available to your group, if ya'll will also demand the industry standards in pay, scheduling, benefits, and QOL the whole industry would become stronger and turn into the career that each of you deserves by dint of your professional skills and experience that has built the frac industry.
Maybe it's a gender difference, maybe the evidence of the type A personality many pilots are rumored to have, but I've never understood why ya'll spend more time tearing each other down rather than pulling each other up...
It seems to me that you'd be pleased to be able to point out to your respective managers that the majority of frac pilots make $$ for pay, have XX for benefits, and work the 7&7 schedule. It validates your complaint of receiving sub-par returns for the same provision of service.
From my perspective, It's not about pilot egos it's about working together so that
all our frac families can obtain the professional lifestyle that should rightfully be theirs because the pilots have
definitely earned it and their families have
backed them up and made that career possible. Think about it please. Whether you guys want to admit it or not, we're all in this together. The ripples can go across the industry whether it's from one large NJ rock tossed in or a handful of frac pebbles thrown at the same time. NJW
