Thirdly, so United employees are freeloaders because they receive job benefits? Seriously? What’s next? Call us freeloaders because the money you pay goes to medical coverage? That’s how stupid that comment is. I laugh to think that you believe if a seat is empty, then no one should have it. What if I’m in the flight deck jumpseat? Going to cry about that too?

Finally, for those of who are commuters (a very large percentage of the pilot group) would go to AA or DAL if you got your wish. Pretty sure I create WAY more revenue than you do for United. Without us, you’d be driving. How’d you feel if I called upgrading passengers “freeloaders”? Probably pretty bad, because it’s unfair and untrue.
