I must say, your experience with regard to the hard times comes with no surprise. You clearly served and I thank you for your service. I thank you for your duty. Thank you East. Seriously.
I am not trying to redesign the flag here either. just trying to make a wrong, right.
Sincerely, and without any taint of "east-west" BS I thank you for that, and hopefully as well understand the concept of wrong versus right. My junior coworkers of then 17 years of actual airline
service were to have their actually-worked-for-and-earned seniority usurped by what I could only see from videos as being a buncha' worthless punks/pizzants. What should I have done to be Right in response? Hell NO and over my dead body seemed pretty reasonable responses to me, so exactly what "wrong" are you trying to "right", besides your own, purely petty and wholly selfish notions? Honestly; where's the even conceivable "Right" in so grossly demeaning the actually worked years of even at all supposedly "fellow" pilots to be found anywhere there? To say that I was "somewhat" unimpressed by your pathetic little pimple Johhny M directly asking the CEO for directions on whether "he" should "turn in" supposed "fellow pilots" falls far short of the mark, and allows me to soon retire with the lasting gratitude of never having had to smell the spiritual stench of such "spartans" in any cockpit.
If we're to address primal concepts of Right versus Wrong; I leave such up to the values we were taught, the lives we've lived, and ultimately the judgment of God...NOT some/any arbitrator or momentary human whims. Never forget that even "OJ" was found "not guilty" and literally got away with brutal murders by way of a human court. Humankind is highly fallible and too often has precious little to do with "Right" and "Wrong"...Why do you imagine our primary "hobby" throughout recorded history has been wars to kill each other in batch lots?...just sayin'...."Right" and "Wrong" comes purely from the innermost heart and soul, or not at all. Such is not found in arbitration/lawyers/courts/etc.
P.S. Even were that pitifully little greed-soaked "nic4us" of yours even close to correct when "he's" bragging over a quarter million more in income; that to me is a very cheap price to pay for good and sound sleep at night. What the pathetic likes of your nic4us would/could do on any battlefield without an accountant nearby to measure the momentary cost must remain a mystery.....thankfully for all others who, unlike "him" self would actually be present, we'll never have to find out.
