The number I threw out there was for illustrative purposes, to make the point that they can afford to not only pay us but give us a raise without changing anything in the way they manage the $ and without bankrupting the company. As far as $150k per pilot, worthy goal but keep dreaming, ain't gonna happen, that would be more than double current average pay per person and almost 300 mil additional spending. We can squawk all we want about what we are worth, and we ARE worth a lot, but the reality is that's a big number and they won't cough that up. Moreover I won't litigate it on a social media site with you, we have a negotiating committee that will make the magic happen for us and get us the best deal possible, which I hope is on the order of increase you suggest and I hope happens before I am hired somewhere else. If it doesn't, so be it. Regardless, an industry leading deal may not be enough to fix the damage they have done anyway. We continue to lose pilots daily and for those who stay the resentment/vitriol/ill will is going to linger for a long time...
