When everyone one else is matching our pay and incentives are more, D will come back to the table and ask our union what can be done to compete. It has to be their idea. But at the end of the day you have to vote what you think is right. Just remember as an FO, we used to make $14-20 per hour, on reserve for 3-6 years and no upgrade or movement, downgrades, concessions in bankruptcy. Now a FO will be making $50/hr with 20k bonus and upgrade as soon as time allows. These improvements are very good and should not be taken lightly. Just remember where you and others came from. We are in record breaking times. A lot to be thankful for.
Thank God you’re not in the investment banking industry because you’d hedge on a goose egg for sure. It a bull market for regionals and you’ll sink millions into a cesspool
