I could be very wrong - tell me how you know.

PS goes a really long way to making people happy, particularly when it's new. But it is starting to get baked in, and I know I don't want to work decades more on the trajectory we're on WRT productivity gives and efficiencies. Again, I could very much be in the minority... but money ain't everything for me or my family. I won't publicly say the minimum hourly pay raise I'm willing to accept in the next contract for fear of being hunted and slaughtered... but pay won't do as much for my morale as work rules, scope and rig enhancement.

I see and hear what crappy trips and enhanced productivity are doing to the age 55+ NB captains I fly with (who are very content with their pay), and I don't want to be living and working under anything worse in my later years.
