Yes I did listen to it, what did you get out of it.
You mean the part when they bragged enthusiastically about slowing growth, year after year, every year a little more, since 2014?

What lever do you think they are gonna pull when our CBA reduces their most important metric, margin, by .5%?

Actually, the discussion started because a few of us said our careers were stagnating/stagnant. Cool said no, we are taking airplanes, so technically we are not stagnating. Well, stagnating, relative to our peers that are either growing faster (some are) or retiring magnitudes more pilots (most are) is what many of us feel like is happening to our progression, relative to our peers. Feeling like your career is stagnating is subjective for sure, unless you are Rain Man and only literal interpretations are allowed. There is, in fact, a way to compile data that shows our growth/retirement progression does not match the growth/retirement progression of most of our peer-set.

You want to lay out the case our growth/retirement progression matches our peers or you wanna be Rain Man and insist on the literal interpretation of a "stagnating" career.

Not directed at you Cool.
