didn't they have to stay competitive with the jetblue's and airtrans and get their payscales in line?

what will happen when everyone comes down to these rates? My buddy at airtran says management wants a 12% increase in productivity either though pay cuts or work rule changes to get that competitive advantage that they are losing back. If the LCC have such a great business plan that is so better then the majors can't they pay the same while still doing it better and cheaper?

do people really not think that the LCC's haven't lowered the bar. you may be happy with what you make but it still lowered the bar. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills and watching Zoolander where no one sees that ferrari, le tigra and magnum are all the same look.

Imagine having to sit in the right seat of the 190 for 4 years. It may not be that way now but it will be in the future as you grow. The bar has definately been lowered.
