You might gain some insight as to the depth of knowledge and experience some of these pilots have.
Your "bureaucratic inertia" is another person's "jesh, we negotiated >8% more than our peers when we did Contract 2012 ... lets stick with what works." Is it enough? Will it ever be enough? We will always want and try to get, more.
I'm going to try and refrain from insulting you in the fashion that you insult so many who work for you. Rather, you are encouraged to learn, even gain experience if you want to pitch in and help.
That is excellent advice...I only wish more would heed it. It is challenging and possibly enlightening to have your ideas (both pro and con) vetted by outside sources. Much easier I'm afraid to hang in the shadows and throw eggs. (not meant as an indictment of Purple or anyone else specifically)
