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.
A false choice which you are good at. There is a lot of room in the middle of your last paragraph.
And as far as bragging they were talking to investors what would you like them to say? You know investors get uneasy with growth, reference that one United Q call. Their point was they are growing at a reasonable and responsible rate. Not fast enough for you but it’s still constant growth.
