Those "minimal pay increases" totaled $100 million this year, and a nearly $400 million annual total since the merger. Add in over 49 million shares of stock.

So show me who got more pay up front. Better yet, show me somebody who got ANY pay up front.

I provide this little historical retrospective for situational awareness. It's the facts. You're free to have a different opinion, but lets at least start the discussion from where we actually were and where we actually are.

I want more. In the post bankruptcy era the traditional way to more hasn't worked for USAPA, UAL/CAL, AMR, or even FedEx. What's the definition of insanity again?
