The issue you guys have, IMO, is that in order to get the pay rate you want, the company literally has to change its entire operating structure. They have to actually care about being an airline.
Barry and his dark overlord, Franke, are quite content with operations as they are and margins as they are. They aren’t interested in changing the operation. It works quite well for whatever goes on inside the black box that is Indigo Holdings Group.
It’s not that you don’t deserve the pay because you are a ULCC. You do deserve it. Expecting the entire operation to change to accommodate industry standard pilot rates is completely unrealistic. Again. IMO.
