"We are worth top tier pay but it is not possible due to the current economic conditions" is a defeatist attitude and is one of the main contributors that make FX ALPA toothless. The doom and gloomers constantly say UAL, DAL, AA, WN will be bankrupt soon and their contract gutted, so that is why we shouldn't negotiate for that. This is probably one of the more absurd arguments I read on here.
