A 2 percent raise isn't going to cut it for me this next go around. A giveback of any kind isn't going to work for me either. I don't want to hear that negotiations are 'give and take'. The company has taken and we have given plenty. Our executives don't ask what they have to give up to get a raise. When the FA's get the same raise as us, they don't get more days on reserve. Are you listening DALPA??
Somebody will break it down and post it. He nearly DOUBLED his salary.

As a nearly 25 year ALPA member, I have never seen this much excess while we are trying to claw back our careers post bk.

It is so tone deaf, specially when one of the largest airlines in ALPAs stable is fighting a representation battle and the union is also settling large law suits and trying to rebuild a depleted MCF.

YGTBSM!
