Imagine saying to a neighbor, coworker, shareholder, stockholder, etc.

Delta is making billions and billions in record profits. Our annual fuel expense just dropper over $7 BILLION DOLLARS.

Our position is that we should make in hourly rates what the Delta pilots made in 2004 plus a little for inflation.

Do you think that is reasonable?

Yet, we will fail. Count on it. Our execs compensation is up over 700% since chapter 11 and we won't come close to a decade ago.

Does that make sense?
