Find me a job field that consistently paces inflation. You can't cuz there isn't one.
This post has nothing to do with whatever rates were about to get handed. This has everything to do with the "doesn't match inflation" claims that have hit these boards so hard lately (and not just the Spirit board)
I’m surprised nobody else hasn’t pointed this out…. Not even Delta’s AIP keeps pace with inflation.
I’m pleased people here realize we have REAL leverage this time around. We should not sell that leverage for suboptimal pay rates in the hopes of getting more in subsequent bargaining, as said subsequent bargaining may not happen or may take a loooooong time. We could potentially be stuck with these rates for some time cementing ourselves at the bottom yet again. People claimed we had leverage prior to C2018 (with a TRO hovering over us?!), this time around is truly different. I was a yes on C2018 (no regrets), I’m in a much better spot now, and am ready to vote no on this…
