I work for a unionized airline and a lot of people bitch and moan that we have to pay dues roughly equal to 2% of our income. I always remind people that our non-unionized competitor pays their employees a flat 10% less than we get paid. So we make more, get union protection, and a ton of other benefits by being unionized. I have no problem paying union dues.

This is great. Are you planning on adding categories for specific kinks?

I'm an airline pilot and it's funny how many people I work with that tell me they don't want to move on to work with United and Delta because they have gone "woke". United and Delta have always had the best pay and benefits and I've been shocked to see how many people put their own bigotry and racism before working for a company that will give you the best quality of life and pay.

Do you just call everyone pretentious who says something you don't like? Lol

An alternative I do to this, since I switch between hands, is you can slide the post to the left to upvote it and if you keep sliding it'll down vote it

Bigots just assume the blood is always gonna be there. They don't think as deeply as you credit them for

Is preserving American land a bad thing now just because a president not affiliated with your party did it? Or is your problem with it because he tributed it to brown people?

Been a long time supporter of sync. Honestly a bit sad to see there's nothing for those that had pro/ultra before :/

Well it's more so congress and not so much the FAA. For example, the house has passed a bill allowing pilots to continue to fly until 67 years old. The current mandatory retirement age is 65 and believe me, a lot of the guys pushing their 60s are delusional and this is just gonna make it worse.

30% is good, but the rest of the industry for pilots has been getting better deals lately and FedEx has historically been the highest paid pilots in the US so they've got high standards. We are also in the midst of a pilot shortage in the US and pilots have never had this much bargaining power to get what they want and likely never will again. Therefore, pilots at a lot of companies are being patient to get exactly what they want out of their new contracts. Honestly, the pay is relatively low priority to other quality of life upgrades.
