Then everyone complains about not having any when delta pilots are out buying Miatas and Porsches with their PS checks. B6 pilots need to play the long game. Profit will come back. Leverage and CBA cycles rarely align to be in a strong position. Now is the time to demand PS, along with industry leading pay rates. Especially given the current industry landscape and hiring environment. And remember, PS costs the company nothing in bad times, not much in marginal times, and only costs them a lot when they are rolling in it…so realistically it shouldn’t take much negotiation capital. Demand it.
I agree. I can't believe his post, as I'm reading it I thought for sure it would say "you just got punked" at the end, but nope. Dude really thinks that.
