it’s entertaining to watch people who earn six figures complain about those who earn 8% of their hourly income. “Get to work pheasant, I need my spicy chicken sandwich and pronto!!!” Especially when the government handout to fellow pilots was exponentially more of a windfall than anything that other citizens received. But yes, you’re suffering so badly waiting on the phone. Is your arm ok? Have you tried the speaker option and set down? You might not hurt so much next time if you try it.
Goes to show that the higher the income, the more entitled and whiny people become.

How many times have you swore at the rampers because they didn't meet your airplane when you taxied in? You know as well as I that you have, and you are lying if you said otherwise. But mediocrity is acepted.
My problem is with corporations using WuFlu, or whatever 'crisis' presents itself as an excuse for crappy service. For example: do you really think it is true that "due to higher than normal call volumes..." you should be on hold for hours? Really? It is not a new phenomena. It has been going on for so long that you have accepted it as normal. Just THINK about that message. If it is true, business must be absolutely stratospheric because they have been saying that for years. Why not hire some more phone talent? Why not find another solution? No... they know people (like you) will 'accept' mediocrity. I guess the upside is that you are much happier about it than I, but I find it sad more than anything. We used to be a country of excellence.

It isn’t really that complicated. We had record employment before the pandemic. Those people certainly didn’t care enough how they were treated to stay unemployed. So why now? Certainly there are a very small segment that might be “scared” of the virus, but the biggest variable is the the government giving many more $$ than they might make at a min wage job or ones that pay well above that. (Plus other things like free ACA healthcare). To pretend that is not the major driver of the labor shortage right now is disingenuous.
How many here would go to work if we were given a check that exceeded what we normally make for going to work?
This is coming from somebody who did every $5 an hour job imaginable on the way up.

You two are ridiculous. Who cares? Does the fact that pride month exists diminish your life in some way? Do people come to your house and beat your dog during these months? Do gay people harass you each day and scream at you for being a breeder?
Do you get jealous of gay veterans because they get to celebrate both holidays equally? How about gay, black veterans? That person would get black history month, pride month, and Veterans Day
What exactly do you want? White male pride month? Would that soothe your butthurt?

Correct. One is a Federal holiday and the other isn't.
Also, one you are expected to honor every day. You are expected to give discounts. You are required to give preferential hiring. We fund an entire organization dedicated to their health and welfare.
The other one gets a parade once a year and the continued threat of having your rights revoked and not so subtle but legal threats against employment

But those same “scared” people aren’t too “scared” to get into an enclosed aluminum tube, along with 190 other germ-infested humans, for hours-on-end, breathing the same stale air, so they can load up their Facebook page(s) with selfies from some over-rated beach.
