To tell you the truth, if I had to follow this logic everytime a payrate vote is placed infront of me, I would be voting yes everytime. Else I will be on the old rate right? Completely disregarding what the market rate is trending towards, as long as the new rate is more than the old rate, right? I and, I believe, a lot of others is not really looking for "The best paid A320 pilots since slice bread". I know it's a talking point just to make others look unreasonable, but just stop. What everyone want, or should want, is market rate. Period. That includes being within $2 or $3 of UAL, AA, DAL, SWA. Profit sharing etc. MARKET RATE.
Not getting a $20 raise and still be $20-30 behind what the market rate is. But I guess it's better than 2018 rates right? That's what some of the guys here are trying to say. No one is losing sleep for not being the "highest paid".
