Default Entitlement?

After a company goes into bankruptcy to restructure, you should still be on not only the pre-bancruptcy pay scale, but the pre 9-11 one as well??? How does that work exactly? This is all starting to sound a little bit like entitlement to me. Pay before 9-11 was very high. Not saying that pilots do not deserve it, but take the good when you can get it and expect the bad to be around the corner...especially in an industry that mirrors the economy as closely as ours does. As the industry starts to come back around, which it seems like it is, negotiations can swing back into the favor of the employees, but expecting a company on the verge of, or actually in bankruptcy to honor a pre bankruptcy contract is a little bit narrow minded and self righteous if you ask me. Not siding with the company completely, but when you back them into a corner, you may not like what you get out of it. Hate my comments, as I am sure you will, but all of this talk seems a little greedy to me.
