> 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.

What's interesting is how hard people struggle to force a narrative that isn't there.

If you find that interesting, have you investigated why _people_ do it?

Yes, because they really really want their preconceptions to be validated, and when they are incapable of accepting that there is no evidence for their argument, they choose to take unrelated stories and repackage them as an argument for their side despite a complete lack of support for the position in the source material.

Just like you are doing here.
