Teh stooped, it burns:
Serious question for DUers - re that cruise ship disaster
Given the low wages and reduced benefits for pilots, ships captains and their crews, why should we expect loyalty to either a firm or passengers on an aircraft or ship?
Is the idea of a poorly paid captain remaining loyal to some industry even relevant today?
Isn't it 'every person for him/herself'
Why should I give up my life for a company that demeans my worth on a daily basis; that denies my right to a union, etc.

DUmmies cannot allow the argument to shift any smidgen of blame on the CPT. That would mean accepting a horrid principle/quality like Personal Responsibility and Courage.
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

Captain Stuebing would have been the last one to leave the ship, after rescuing as many passengers as he could.

I would suspect a Captain is making in the mid 6 figures at least but I could be wrong.
He/She is responsible for those people under his command. Period.May the FORCE be with you!

The concept of doing a job to the best of your ability regardless of what you're paid flies completely over the head of Libtards.
They associate higher job performance with more $$$ and that's not aways the case.

These idiots can't make up their minds.
CEO's are overpaid, thus enemies.
Ship Captains are underpaid, thus forgiven their cowardice and responsibilities.
Minimum wage for useless or no job skills cannot be set high enough.
No wonder this country is on the verge of financial bankruptcy, these are the idiots in charge of our government.Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
