Some departments are figuring it out. A buddy who works for a large 91 Dept just had their base salary brought up $40-$50k across the board, plus bonus incentives (+ the great benefits & retirement they already had). He's now in line with a min credit airline guy/gal, and he loves his job, so he's happy. Like someone said - a lot of corporate folks who love the job aren't expecting 100% parity with airline pay, just high enough salaries to compliment the other things that make them love and stay in 91.
