You are the problem. You've been voted off the island. Tough to take. The company paid down 10 billion in debt and bought back 5 billion is stock. Just about overnight.
You're 15% behind 12 year old pay rates with no retirement. Wait for what? Our CEO makes 20 million a year, our fellow employees received a historic pay raise and have been restored. Let's keep waiting. For what, more historic profits?
Can't keep waiting or time will pass you by. The past practice of appeasement has left us way behind. Your post reveals a lot, we can't be paid more than XYZ because it will hurt the company. That mentality is part of the Stockholm Syndrome Dalpa embraced. Dalpa thinks they're quasi management, part of the solution, only to be played like a fool. Or maybe Dalpa is comfortable with FPL and the status quo.
In any event, you a now part of the minority position. Whether we win or fail, the majority of the pilots you fly with, the guys in the fox hole, the pilots in the seat next to you, mostly disagree with the old way of doing things. They disagree with you.
