No "great changes" over the years, if you define those as changes akin to C2K.
No big givebacks during the "dark years", and certainly no trip to bankruptcy.
Is there any chance the two are related? If the pilots who found themselves ahead of us during and after the "dark years" got there with small, methodical increases and improvements, would it be better to wish for a similar trajectory instead of "great changes"?
Um, I'm not a southwest pilot.
We did in fact take a 42ish % haircut plus a large retirement hit... small, methodical increases/improvements are not going to begin to "restore" our losses.
But the sun will more than likely rise tomorrow... so I got that going for me!
