This is all fine and good. No one wants you to take a pay cut or concession. For the love of all that is holy you gotta stop saying otherwise.
It is in all our interest to pattern bargain up the pay scale. But it is just amazing that the livelihoods of the thousands of ground workers, Fa, etc are not even on your radar. The success of your company is more than all about you.
You're calling a bluff and the axe man is in your living room. For my personal benefit don't take a pay cut. For the benefit of your coworkers you should negotiate in good faith. There is more to profitability than pay scales.
Well, I'll gladly vote to just keep the contract I have in order for the rest of us to keep our jobs. But I won't vote for a pay cut just so that the ramp guy can keep his job. I'm very sorry about that. Is that holy enough for you?
By the way, what I am trying to say is that we already called the company's bluff when we voted NO to concessions. And the company is making good on their threat. Maybe management has already made the calculation that this is not a viable company. I'm ok with that.
