Here we are, yet again, and you're arguing against being paid more.

However "reasonable" you think you are, organized labor should make every case it can to raise the bar. And if the airlines can open up the purse strings to save their C-scale operations, (which has rendered regionals obsolete btw) then they certainly can pay proportionally for their mainline pilots.

What is a pilot worth? It's not set in stone.

According to you? Not much.
