Even as someone fairly new to the industry, asking for and giving concessions in record breaking profits blows my mind. I also know that giving up QOL items for simple pay rates is irreversible, that once you give those up, you may never get them back. I'm just trying to gain an understanding of how far the industry has fallen, what you used to have, and what we could potentially gain on the next TA (if we can get the right people voted in). I do know this, for those 65% of you that voted "No," thank you. I've got over 20 years left here and appreciate you not pulling up the ladder and realizing that it's not only about the pay rates.
