Why you should fly the big airlines

[avernas]

In other industries, consumers build mutually beneficial relationships with providers of goods and services. Wal-Mart shoppers won’t shop anywhere else, just as BMW owners won’t let anyone else service their $70,000 vehicles. These consumers are fiercely loyal, no matter their income bracket.

I disagree that Wal-Mart customers are fiercely loyal. If K-mart or any other discount retailer could beat Wal-Mart's prices and services, don't think for a second the average consumer wouldn't shop elsewhere. Many people in a community may feel a little guilty when a Wal-Mart is built, knowing it may well drive small local shops out of business. Somehow, everyone ends up shopping at Wal-Mart anyway. People looking to save a dollar (most people) have little or no loyalty in nearly every industry.

I actually stopped shopping at Wal-Mart when I found out about the way they run business. I also stopped going to Sam's Club when I found out they were associated with Wal-Mart.

I'm a BAAAAAAD man for wanted some compensation for what I do. I'm sure the jerk does not know that half what pilots have to do just to keep their jobs let alone the time and training to become one adding to how much time we spend away from our families.

I bet that jerk doesn't have to pass a physical ever six months or will lose his job if he gets diabetes. I beet he doesn't three quaters of his time away from home. he doesn't have to do recurrent. he doesn't have to worry about some Ahole from the FAA that has a chip on his shoulder and can ruin you forever because you made a human mistake.

I am not a big union guy and do for the most part believe them obsolete. However, I do believe there does need some organization for pilots because we're doing something we love to do and that gets used against us.

And why would you be a big union guy?

This kind of equipment is typically not covered by many unions.

Are you kidding me? Judge this guy of what he flies or has flown on his little profile on the side of his name? Please... Get over it.

Guppy: D@mn funny. And spot on to boot.

Because I've been around for more than a couple of days and have some knowledge of econmics and history. Judging your profile, I'd figure you for a PFT guy. Guess that would make you a big union guy to make up for your past. Hmmmm? At least I got to the EMB honestly.

No. I just had to read your post a few times before I could understand what you were trying to say. It gets a bit frustrating.
