Yes, I suppose greed is relative. Side note, I would welcome $50,000/year graciously, but my latest W-2 was half that. Fortunately, I don't have any significant debt, student loans, children, or live in an expensive city, so I get by ok.

Back to greed being relative. I suppose I'd be greedy if I walked down the street and stole some hobo's nickel stash. And compared to people living in some third world countries, and even some places in the US, my lifestyle might even be considered lavish! Hell, I have electricity, a refrigerator, cable TV, and internet. What was I complaining about again?

Mr. Parker, I'm doing just fine! Don't let me and my fellow pilots obstruct your opportunity for a multi-million $$$ bonus! That'd be greedy of us. I know you've been working hard with this merger, probably spending a lot of time "on the road" away from home, working long days/nights, dealing with all sorts of people complaining about this and that. And a lot is expected of you! You have a lot of responsibility in your hands, guiding the company to safe future.

Don't let these pilots take what is yours, Mr. Parker. They are just greedy sloths. Establish your dominance over them, and put them in their place. Show them they are are replaceable, and nothing more than a tool of of the company. Make them fear you. Fear is stronger than respect.
