That is exactly the mindset the company loves you to have. Let's stay underpaid so they can reward themselves. When the price of fuel goes up, companies adjust. Same with labor costs. I've yet to see ever an airline who went out of business because their pilot costs were too high.
1000%. We aren’t in this predicament bc of pilot costs over at spirit. We are bc of poor management decisions and them not moving with the market. Plenty of airlines make money with higher pilot costs. Management needs to figure it out. Their peers have.
