Not even going to make excuses. We screwed up. It was like signing a post-nup during the honeymoon. Profits were high and the idea of a pay drop was a distant thought. It was a 25% raise from what we had. But then they ended up funding a huge engine rehab program with operational funds that caused us all to take a pay hit. That's when I realized that we made a huge mistake. The company tried to give the FA's the same system and they told management to shove it. Everything we gained from that negotiation session was given back, and then some.
