As for what I am worth? I am worth a lot more than I am making, as are you. We get what we negotiate. At a min given the stuff we deal with, resotration does not come close to what we are worth. If the business can sustain that they lets do it. We are not at the point yet.
I have voted No and will do so if there is something in the agreement that is a step back. Pay, scope, work rules etc.
No it does not matter when I was hired. I want the diminishing returns to stop, I want what people like DAL88 want, but I also do not want to get it only to have it stripped from us. I want the exact number that is sustainable and not a penny less.
I do not think at this point we can determine what that is. Later next year when the company has strung together six or seven quarters of profitability, I beleive that we will be in a position to make a proposal that is commensurate with what some state is a min level for our opener.
I really understand what you are saying.
I am also of the opinion that we should have sustainable wages.
Is that Restoration? SWA+? I don't know. I am not a negotiator nor am I a cpa or financial analyst. I am a professional pilot that is providing for my families well being. That is my business. I am not in the business of bailing the company out longer than it is needed.
We also need to recognize that we should be a fixed cost to the bottom line, not a cash machine to go to when the crisis du jour comes around.
