Seriously, there are two parties in this election:

The Republicans

and

The Media

Thanks MSNBC, now that you've told me who to vote for, tell me how I can afford that result come January...

Shoot guys, we all know the media still thinks we're overpaid, underworked, drunk, horny scumbags. I guess anytime the media can get three out of five right, it ain't bad.

But we all know the score. Even if it's not true, those guys shouldn't have put themselves in a position to be in the headlines.

Just think, if JB was a unionized pilot workforce, those guys would probably not lose their jobs even if they were guilty.

Is it just me, or is there something wrong with unions (especially ALPA) putting more time and money into saving dirtbags than improving QOL for the silent, hardworking, exemplary majority?

Disclaimer: I hate ALPA national, Prater, and all his bloated, slimy cronies. They don't give a rat's ass about you and me--only about keeping themselves in a position of influence, power, and money at our expense.

The news article said they were based in Fort lauderdale and both were "of Fort lauderdale" meaning they live there.
And they were taken to a Subway at 2 am.
Is Subway open at 2am? Where were their own cars? Were they too drunk to drive? This news article just makes me question everything.

No wonder they thought the price was unreasonable. People can fly on Jet Blue for not much more than that taxi fare!

That "overpaid" comment really hurts.
