I could be wrong, but I don't think the poster has anything to do with AAY. He was just posting executive compensation rates.
As for one of your prior posts, when someone said we deserved the pay raise mentioned last week and you said that was entitlement mentality, no-it was a contract agreed to by management and upheld by the Federal Courts. No one was whining and saying "we deserve that, it's ours and therefore not just a gift" just because we think we deserve it and have an entitlement mentality. It's a negotiated contractual rate.
I don't think the AAY pilots are looking at pay rates as the huge issue here. Obviously increased pay rates would be great, but safety and QOL are the issues that seem to be on the minds of every pilot I talk to.
