There are more but this list covers the big ones that affects the entire group in a “better” way.
You mean like it should have always been? You are giving the airlines a break for taking advantage of the Recession by cutting labor costs while making record profits. Now that things are getting back to what they should have been, you considered it better?? You're like one of those Skywest pilots who just voted yes to a contract with little to no raise.
Things are just starting to get back to a respectable level, but we have a long way to go before this community is truly compensated for what they are worth to the national economy.
