Well, he is right about US Air; they are the worst airline in America. I go out of my way to avoid them....

Brothers, we must stand together!

I can't think of another industry where you get a longevity raise every year, a contract raise every 3-5 years, and a promotion raise for changing equipment/upgrading every couple years.
I also can't think of any other industry where your longevity and experience means nothing when starting at a new company.

AA3m is a management troll, no question about it. US Airways must be a real threat to Horton and his millions for a character like AA3m to suddenly show up, start a new thread and attempt pillow talk to AA pilots while spending an inordinate amount of time on an airline which isnt even a party to the bankruptcy proceedings- yet.

The same book that the pilots will be more than happy to ignore when they got the big checks? No morals there. What they are paid now is more than what most deserve to push buttons. Technology is here and has been for a long time to replace airline pilots. Wages are finally working their way back down to what they deserve. There's not a commuter pilot out there that doesn't work 10X times harder for way less than half the pay. Stop thinking you're the only one who can do you're job.

Untill the $hit hits the fan!! Then you can PRAY that the front office " button pushers" have the experience and knowledge to save your pathetic ass!!
The commuter pilot pays his dues acquiring experience on the smaller AC. Their ultimate goal to some day make "the big checks"...

Oh boy, the Button Pusher argument.
Pathetic. I think APC needs to weed out the trolls better.

No, that post was a combination of cluelessness and flame bait. If its such an easy job that can be done by anyone, they'll have no problem filling those future button-pusher slots with most who would apply. I'll laugh my *** off watching that show when it arrives. This yahoo will then be paying twice what he does now to fly, if he can even get a seat.

To that, I'll laugh even harder.
