You have to fix the underlying problem with your airline and that's revenue.
Agreed on the last point, but it can't be done overnight.
On the dollar amount - our give is only worth $10-15 million (I forget which). The rest is a non-sequitur.

It's conceivable, but has virtually nothing to do with what we're paid. Seat mile costs on E-190's are higher than Airbuses, and even the RAH guys worked for free, that wouldn't change (the total pilot cost is on the order of 0.2 cents per seat mile - the difference between airplanes is measured in whole pennies).
