That guy is an idiot and has lost any shred of credibility he had, even with the Koolies. I just flew with a chief pilot who agrees that it is long past time to pay up and they are going to have to write a big check.
That isn't an emotional "I deserve more" argument, it's science. A pilot today is worth a whole lot more than a pilot 2 years ago. The longer they delay, the bigger quagmire they are going to find themselves in.
