Here's a thought for you...
One wrong move by an airline CEO can bring down the profitability and stock price of the company, right?
Guess what?
So can any single flight crew flying the line.
So who really should mean more to the company on a day-to-day basis??
You're not a union rep. by any chance, are you Tom?
If you are/were, a lot of things would make more sense.
The executive suite is
entitled to what they have simply because its either their company to do with as they please -or- the owners of the company are giving them the money as
they see fit.
The fact that one wrong move by a pilot can bring the company down has nothing to do with your level of compensation. It has everything to do with your level of professionalism which I am now starting to really question. You've basically now moved from entitlement/welfare to robbery. Why don't you just hold a gun to their face.
I'll say it again. You are entitled to NOTHING. You deserve NOTHING. Tell me something, how much will be enough to satisfy you? At what point is the company a bunch of good guys?
If you don't like where you work you change jobs like everyone else, or you start your own company, or you negotiate in good faith. And if you do start your own company with your hard earned dollars, sweat, and tears, I sure hope you don't have someone like yourself telling you exactly what you should be doing and what you should be paying them.
Hey, don't get me wrong, I hope you guys negotiate a whole bunch of money. I think somehow, someway, the concept of capitalism is lost on you. It's the American way you know.
