We just want our representation to stop chasing everyone else & start being industry leaders.
Well, I know I deserve a dinner and a date with
Gisele Bündchen. When my friend tells me he thinks she's pretty hot too...I go..."Yea, we deserve some of that". When she actually goes out with my friend, I am happy for him(because he deserved it) and am more hopeful for my chances because she has proven that she will go out with mere mortals. Now, all I have to do is ask her out. It is a virtual lock that I too, will get what I deserve.
Life is a process. We continue to get calls for polling from UNHC about expectations etc More information is better especially since you have new studs in your stable after letting the gelding out to pasture.
The Delta TA is tangible, factual and a huge step up from the only other carrier to raise the bar(Alaska)
I would gladly spend 20 minutes filling out a survey that affects possibly the next 4-7 years of my work life, especially after a major puzzle piece just dropped. Namely, not what do I feel I deserve....but what has another legacy mgt team proven that they are willing pay.
Feelings vs. Facts...it's your call
