My post that SF was originally replying to was more about the angst that I see every time the non-cons get a pay raise. Every time they get a pay raise there is overblown angst on SM and even in the cockpit. I once had a Captain beside himself about them getting a raise (for doing nothing!!!) and how it's a "slap in the face!" I'm thinking to myself, we're in negotiations and we're still months from the amendable date! It's ridiculous and embarrassing to see attitudes like that.
I'm one of the middle-30 somethings you're mentioning. Trust me, there are things I don't like and want to see changed. However, you won't see me angry over the non-cons getting amounts to barely more than a yearly cost of living adjustment.
