Does the GM of a Walmart negotiate lower compensation package than say if he were the GM of a target or a Nordstrom? I would bet he/she actually negotiates more money because the Walmart store is going to have more day to day headaches.

No one except it seems pilots feel the need to subsidize their company's business model through their own compensation. I think the model is good and will certainly help attain company goals but I'm not going to subsidize them.

This attitude of not expecting same or more pay than a legacy pilot is only propagated by us. We can choose to stop that ideology at any time.
