> An Alaska Airlines captain, according to a news release from the airline, averages about $341,000 a year, but pilots say it’s not just about money — they also want work rule changes, job security and scheduling flexibility.
So, money doesn't seem to be it alone...
> work rule changes
interesting.
> if you're not a senior captain in a major airline, most pilots earn very low wages
Just like you are doing here.
But ya, _people_ are just uninformed and building a narrative that isn't there.
Even if the narratives are inherently false, can't we at least consider why the mistrust is present instead of essentially accusing _people_ of a lack of logic and borderline calling _people_ crazy?
Other airlines pay for this time, Alaska does not. Which is why they can't find pilots. Their overall pay is crap.
> more than 97% of its staff received at least one shot after the deadline this week.
If pilots and copilots are massively, massively over-represented in the remaining 3%, you might have a point, but that is a huge and unsupported assumption.
"airline industry" being the differentiator between what you listed and the original article's claim.
Also, the number you're referencing is United Airline's, so not even Alaskan.
> United Airlines mandated vaccines for staff in August and said more than 97% of its staff received at least one shot after the deadline this week.
All those discrepancies aside, you probably have a point. I don't personally believe it's _this_ reason alone, but I think it's at least a part of the issue.
