Just stop lying about it.

Sounds like working in management will be a nice career for you there guy.

And thank you for quoting me earlier, in an attempt to discredit my career, I guess?

No fella, the only one doing the discrediting here is yourself. By letting the man know you’ll fly his shiny big turbofan driven aircraft for subpar wages.

PAX through TSA checkpoints (compared to same day of the week, 2019 Pre-Covid) has been creeping up. Last few months it is averaging 90%.

Most days are running 85% to 95%.

At what point will you be happy with how much you make? With how much money is in your bank?

At what point do you stop complaining and, you know, be satisfied with your airline and the decisions that you made to get there? Plenty of people here are making great money with good 401Ks... yet, it isn't enough. Yet we must continue to argue about whom is better off.

Why would you ever be satisfied? Especially if someone else who does the same thing as you but gets better pay and/or benefits? You are probably that 1% at every airline who votes against the strike authorization.

What a ridiculous argument. You can love the home you live in yet make improvements, you can love your car and do the same. Hell, you can truly love yourself yet better yourself in a myriad of ways. Any suggestion otherwise is either him trolling or a he’s F——-G idiot. You decide.

For the record anyone who’s known a pilot turned management at Jetblue knows the answer.

But hey, it's APC, if you didn't degrade someone somewhere, even if it is on your own airline where everyone strives for the same thing, you certainly wouldn't be here, amirite?
