They can't afford to pay us the average while upper management is paid above average. I've been here for the 2003 Jacob Schorr "vote yes or I'll shut down the airline" campaign(ALPA folded), followed by the 2010 "if you don't vote yes, we are in no-man's land" / "this place will never IPO" / "give us a loaded .357" / "the pizza is only THIS big" campaign(ALPA folded). It's time to get leading pay, keep the perceived QOL benefits, etc.
I've said many times before, we are looking at C2020. Dig in and fix it now, or burn it down. Or.... wait 'til 2028.
