Alaska has already cut costs. We are profitable and have pretty much been through out this downturn. The company has publicly admitted the pay cuts were too much and have offered a TA to raise them but with unacceptable strings attached. Through negotiations I hope to see pay brought back to the old levels or close to it. Also, SW pilots are paid more than us now. We simply point to them and say, "If they can do it, you can do it." We'll see how simple that really is of course.
