What's the real world? I wasn't aware that I was part of an FSX Airline edition forum.

Prior to my current position at ExpressJet, I was in management, in the private sector of a different industry. So, I'm not blowing smoke but rather stating things from experience.

However, I will agree that I have no experience in the private aviation sector or a lot of the other industries. Maybe you are right and I'm wrong. In any case, I would like to be proven wrong that management (airline, healthcare & local government) does not get any type of raise year after year. In proving me wrong, it will hopefully benefit the workforce that sustains a company.
