Thanks for asking the question!
You didn't keep it in context.
You claimed - "Just a little better. Chapter 11 was a 42% pay cut in buying power. We're currently at a 34% pay cut."
Does it matter where we fit relative to everyone else?
If we were 50%
above 2004 pay rates, but 5-10%
behind our peers…you'd be happy?
