How much of your earnings are inflated? Do you safely do a job that potentially risks several hundred people's lives every single day?

Do you realize you are infinitely closer to a pilot than a billionaire or a founder or whomever it is you seem to care more about than working people?

Class consciousness, solidarity, and workers literally fighting and dying earned you an 8 hour day, social security, and all the workplace protections you probably take for granted.

None of my earnings are inflated. My wage is set by the market, not by a group of people threatening to paralyze the economy.

Every pilot I've spoken to is against school teachers unions and yet doesn't realize that pilots are just bus drivers in the sky.

And yes, this does influence me. When a pilot makes $600k/year instead of $300k per year, my ticket price goes up 10%.
