ChrisH, I can't tell whether your one of the "boys" here or just another "wannabe", but you deserve a serious spanking from the cargo crowd with that comment/attitude. We've for years lived under (pay and work rules) the pax carriers because of that prevailing attitude from (cargo) mgts.
I hope the legacy guy's get thier pay and benefits back on parity with pre 9/11 rates, but I will always believe that I'm worth as much even if my "passengers" are less valuable than (pax carriers).
