When has any airline management asked for concessions to save the company and returned the favor when profitable again?

To our MEC:

No concessions!

You are not management's friends, you are our representatives. Don't let them tell you that pilots are the cause of the problem and that only pilots can provide the solution. Delay realignment training, but don't touch the contract because we will never get any concession back.

To Pinnacle management:

No concessions!

As long as this company continues to pay FORMER employees who helped put us in the situation, we shouldn't even be discussing pilot concessions.

If you think labor costs are high now, just imagine what they will be after any concession. I, along with many others, will do everything possible to sink the ship. Other places are hiring and I wouldn't think twice about jumping ship and while I wait, I will make sure we are always late, the APU will be on the entire time the aircraft is on the ground, I will look for the strongest headwind, I will use NTOP for every takeoff, I will make sure every scratch and mark on each prop is documented before each flight, and I will take my sweet time to get to any deadhead. In short I will look for anyway to make sure the money you take from future pilot concessions will go right back into our operations budget, and not your bonuses.
