I'm surprised nobody on here has commented on the line from this week's 'right from Richard' message on Deltanet. He stated that he's committed to giving "industry standard" wages for all front line employees in 2012.
That doesn't give me any warm feelings on a significantly improved contract.

I assume RA wants a better than "industry standard" airline. If he's only willing to pay "industry standard" wages (whatever those are), why should he expect to get better than industry standard performance? Average pay = average airline. Nothing more.

I seriously doubt any of the other employees are anywhere near 32% below where they were in 2004... probably not even more than a single digit percentage below. And I'm guessing management is actually quite a bit ABOVE their 2004 compensation.
Anybody have the stats on this?

do you know something the rest of us don't? Did you talk to RA and ask him about it?
why would you feel the need to say that if you don't know for sure what he was talking about?

And on another note (totally off the subject), I thought this was pretty funny:
