nK, just to clarify a misunderstanding, I DO think that we should ask for higher pay. Looking at your peer group that is making more is only one of many tools in the negotiation tool box. Wasn't it United that asked for Delta+ 1% or vice-versa? We have plenty of other justifications, just not the 'other guys are making more' one this time. I truly hope we can all negotiate better contracts.
