Who gives a cr@p what Airways did in 2007? Lets set the bar for tomorrow.
Ummm, Jetblue and Virgin for that matter, didn't "set any bars". They rode the wave of dues paying members for free. Unfortunately it appears our mec is enthralled with making their wages our starting point and too many want to reference them.
Both of those airlines have done nothing yet to be included in the list of professionals who fought for their wages to be increased and our wages shouldn't be starting there!
Anything short of the pay from carriers who actually "set the bar", should get a big fat "No" vote on any new TA we receive.
