USAir Pilot Speaks Out

The ironic thing about all this is - we, the labor groups on the airplanes, are the ones who stand in the face of the "terrorist" and we have taken the biggest hit on our pay checks, all the while, the government is paying for Federal Air Marshals, and TSA employees (80k and 40+k per year respectively).  They are worth employing at a hefty price yet I am supposed to do my job and protect the passenger for less than 75k a year and no pension or retirement plan.  It ain't the job I signed up for and I am not sure I will hang around, besides, it isn't worth missing my kids growing up.
