You can continue saying "restoration" or you can attempt to determine our leverage and figure out what it might be worth.
You can continue to be TIMID, stick your head in the sand, make every excuse in the book not to be paid what you are worth and be a sheep. You are a hostage to management.
Unfortunately, a majority of this pilot group thinks like you; so getting anything other than a measly 4%-8% pay-raise will never happen.
Even with a 4-8% raise, you will feel guilty and you will want to give concessions.
Welcome to Delta!!! Another successful candidate and like-minder!
