To those who work at other respectable companies, I humbly ask that you tip your hat to us as we draw the line. We chose the wrong battle, but hopefully, our efforts, and those of our brethren will eventually win the war.
Honorable pay for honorable work. No concessions.
I, for one, choose honor.
Spoken like a real hero! One that has never had a hungry child to feed. I remember when everything used to be so easy.
I think your final decision must be based on one point alone. Do you really believe the company will survive if the pilots take concessions. Its just that simple.
Now if you believe it will survive, then a prudent thing to do would be to require "snap backs" and no bonuses for execs until pay increases.
However this turns out, you are all in our thoughts.
