Believe it or not, I actually just meant what I said - nothing more or less. No, I don’t seek pay stagnation any more than you do. I just don’t care to create a connection with an unrelated workgroup. I don’t care about non-unionized/non-contract employee compensation or work rules. NMFP. I’m not a flight attendant, I’m not a dispatcher, I don’t work at the GO starbucks and I don’t clean lavs or fix airplanes.

If you want to correlate our pay in some way to executive compensation, that’s a different animal. But no, I honestly don’t want to synch up with 20,000 employees whose job qualifications and training couldn’t be more different than mine. That type of trigger might sound like a nice backstop, but it wouldn’t come without negotiations and likely some quid pro quo. No thanks.
