BH is working to get us more money because he recognizes the hard work we are doing so the next payout should be better partly because of that and because 2nd quarter numbers have been strong.
Now is not the time to start back lashing or as posted above we will be another F8.
Also payouts were not that high because a large percentage of the bonus is on profits....which are a lot lower than in previous quarters due to high fuel costs. I'm surprised we got anything.
We should all be glad to hold on to our seats or even jobs right now.
What if United, or even Midwest tanks? What happens with Skywest? The Inc. profits will go way down? Would they furlough? Boot ASA out of ATL and send those planes to their?
IMHO, ahead lies the toughest times ever for the airline industry, and some of the hardest times for this Nation since the 1930's.
