All business decision that only help us because it's an attempt to create a SUSTAINABLE business model. Those decisions only help us gain more as well. If we never merged with NWA, we would not even be getting the pay raise we have received thus far (53% from 2008 through the end of the TA if it passes). What other pilot group can say that? There's still more coming but the business HAS to be able to support it or we will lose it all again. What's so difficult about that? Do you want to go through that again seeking after a pie in the sky lottery payout? The management folks are doing their job (and a good ne in my eyes) of creating a company that generates SUSTAINED profitability. If you wanted to make what they make, you should've checked the box that had management next to it but I guarantee you wouldn't like the job because it's never over. You wont have 4-6 days off at a time.
