Why did you put a statement, which I didn't make, in quotes after quoting my post? And exactly when have I (of all peeps) ever advocated giving
anything up? I'm the freakin' anti-Marvin here.
Let me type a bit slower. Ten bucks says the company assigns a significant value to pass travel and uses that during negotiations as one of their levers to keep our remaining compensation in check. Ten bucks also says that it's a lot more than just "a couple of bucks of pay" Those are your words. Not mine.
And another ten bucks says that as we move forward, non-rev travel will become even more onerous than it has over the last decade. That will make it an almost non-benefit, benefit. And we will pay for it.
