I'm trying to decide if this statement is more or less useful than Albie's post. I see the logic of both. Probably doesn't matter either way because I'm about to get yelled at for quoting your whole post.
My perspective...I am a FedEx employee number who gets paid for generating revenue and not crashing airplanes. I am also an ALPA membership number who pays 2% of my FedEx salary in case I crash an airplane or do something that stops FedEx from generating revenue. Neither organization really cares about me. I am simply a source of income for both.
But a not insignificant difference between FedEx and ALPA is that one has a very long record of success in its decision making, and one...not so much. If FedEx is willing to increase my pay 3%, that helps me and ALPA. I'm not sure anyone loses in this deal.
