It should be no secret that we make much more than the other work groups. That is no excuse to make less than industry standard for a pilot. The doctor that delivers my kids probably makes $600k/yr and the nurse $70k. He doesn't have to justify to her why he's not willing to work for $450k.
What if it was an ultra low cost obgyn / hospital that charges less for delivery and pre delivery services by providing a no frills / no pamper accommodations along with lower labor cost? The doctor signed on initially and agreed to work for 30-60% less than doctors at traditional practices, and all of a sudden demand to be paid like traditional practices even though the business model is not setup to have the same revenue as a traditional operation? Perhaps he/she should quit and find employment in a traditional office.
Oh it's not absurd or unreasonable at all that people are saying they won't agree to $500/hr with 50% DC if pbs or no changes to LTD is involved. Jeeesh, I wonder if anyone would underwrite a private LTD plan now that you can spend that extra 300K/yr you'll be making for premiums.
