I do not argue the point about the other employee groups being back to where they were and management being overly compensated. That is a corporate America phenomina, nothing unique to DAL. Tim Cook got 1,000,000 shares of AAPL before he even signed his name on the oath of office... I mean... his personal net worth has gone up over $200M since he took the job.. is he worth it? Again.. I digress..

You bring up again.. the point about why I am so passionate about LGBP or at the very least banded pay... I am not going to rehash it again.. (The crowd goes wild). You have to make your own decision about that, but what we have does not work for the vast majority of guys...

And I will say again... I am waiting for someone to convince me that productivity has any place in this discussion...
