This is an interesting point--the generational gap in "what matters" when it comes to compensation.

Several studies out there--seems like the "baby boomers" are generally happy to make as much money as possible, even if it means working more. Later generations seek good money, it's true, but also value other forms of compensation very highly--especially time off.

Those are some broad generalizations, certainly. But suffice to say it's not all about straight cash anymore for many younger guys. ALPA ought to consider these generational differences...but it's pretty unlikely when all the fat cats are baby boomers.
