I guess it all comes down to your valuation of self-worth. Don't we perform the same duties, arguably even more, than our peers at other U.S. carriers? I feel I'm worth much more than the compensation I'm currently receiving, and I am not worried in the least about "destroying" a company that can not or is not willing to compensate me accordingly. If the company can not survive and thrive whilst paying us industry standard wages, than the company should not be in existence in the first place.
I agree completely! If a company, ANY COMPANY, cannot "survive" with its employees making an industry standard wage then there is a severe flaw in that company's business plan. With that being said, the folks at Spirit and Indigo are extremely smart people, and I am quite sure that every budget they have created in the recent past has included an increase in wage for the pilot group. They have just had no reason to actually give us the money. Well, the time has come for us to give them a reason! Soon we will begin some public informational events, and I hope to see you all there....lets all get involved with this and show the company we mean business!!!! See you there
