You are contradicting yourself...
"I wouldn't even bother to engage" "I'll just bring my smug ass over and
take your job"
Yet here you are "engaging"...
I'd be surprised if it was just "frosty stares"...
In other industries, some might start by slashing tires and go from there...
How am I contradicting myself? I said I was surprised that "B73ABC even bothers to engage", and I'm not B73ABC. Learn to read and don't invent/selectively quote.
Here's the thing. It's not "Your" job. It's anyone's who can apply, qualify, and be offered it. You need to lose your sense of entitlement and possessiveness over things that aren't yours to grant. You're just gonna get an ulcer.
Nope, it's not a joke to me - I feel sorry for those who are bitter about things they have no control over and choose to blame others. Hell, there are still a few ex-Canadian (Airline) guys who when you casually say hi and ask how their day is, automatically say "Not bad, for someone who got screwed out of 30 years of seniority!"
Still victims, after all these years. Pathetic.
The point is that Swoop is a market-driven decision, and the market will decide if it's viable. If they are able to easily attract enough job applicants, then their wages are clearly not "too low". Yet here we are before they've even remotely released any specific details about their compensation package and there are people making veiled threats.
How can one not be either amused or saddened, in turn?
Because it IS sad to know for a fact that the anger and resentment you and people like oldcommercialpilot exhibit only serve to poison your own mental and physical health. The rest of the world hardly notices and definitely doesn't care.

To contribute philosophy advice. No charge. You're welcome!
Oh, and I gots me a Canadian ADB to go with the passport as well. So there's that.
I’m still waiting for my white male privilege membership card. Must have gotten lost in the mail.
