yep ...all those nice profits arent worth much in the long run if its all wiped out by high fuel and higher wages. But I do think we will see wage movement in all sectors as long as the requests are reasonable. While I understand those who have taken HUGE cuts wanting to get it all back.... what good would that do if simply puts the carrier back in a break even or in the red situation. FWIW....in my opinion a few percent increase is not reasonable, 5-10 percent across the board plus annual raises which at exceed COLA by a percent over the contract is what I think can be expected. Anything more and I believe EXTREME resistance from management. these are my general thoughts across the industry by the way....nothing carrier specific. I think we all would like to see the legacys get all of their concessions back, but realistically I dont see it happening.
