Well, unfortunately, I think that is exactly the "BS" we're going to be dealing with. The question is: Do our representatives and negotiators see it as "BS"? Or do they sympathize with it?
I can't tell you exactly where this came from (well, I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you
)... but this is what a prominent DAL exec said in response to the suggestion that our pay should be restored to 2004 levels:
"We didn’t need temporary relief due to a short-term issue – we needed to reform our business so that we are profitable." That's the mentality we're dealing with. And what really scares me is that it appears to also be the mentality of some on our MEC and on important committees like Strategic Planning.
