Knowing that your employer won't give you a raise that would be 50% more than what its competitors pays their pilots leads to the next logical step: what tactic do I use to get the most I can?
Your tactics, asking for unrealistic raises, in my opinion, will get me less money. I'm just stating what the better, realistic, tactic is to gain the largest pay raise I possibly can.
I'm curious, what evidence pdo you have that asking for "an unrealistic raise" will ultimately result in "less"? I'm interested in real life data, because this really seems like conjecture and emotional opinion, not fact based cause and effect.
