Well you see, if you read the rest of the sentence I wrote you’ll find it might help. “Contractually required pay moved up for strategic reasons.” My argument is that it is not a gesture, or something to be received with grace, it is a chess move. It is not a gift, and it is done with the same malice that all airline managements have toward their cost units. Doesn’t mean it’s bad to get an extra 5% now…not at all, but the benevolent overlord thing is naive.
