You know what they all say about opinions there like a&@$oles everyone has one.
Sure it's cyclical, but there are many ways to skin a cat regarding a fair share of present and near-term profits expected to be nothing short of staggering. In fact, considering the F/A's "me too" demands have vaporized, I'd say even more ways then 2 days ago, yes ?

Additionally, requiring us to "buy" our pay increases isn't really a pay increase, now is it ?
