I truly believe that your view is a minority one. You're typical of the very junior pilot who never knew anything close to C2K rates, thus you never knew what a 50% pay cut felt like. Inflation based increases from here feel great to you.
We're going to bring the profession back to where it was a decade ago...despite your best efforts.

Carl,
You are typical of the very senior NWA pilot who never knew anything close to C2K rates.
Who is the "we're" you are talking about? Got a mouse in your pocket? The DPA? Where's your leverage, Carl?
Pilots in your generation scare me. They outsourced half the airline with the hope of selling coworkers' jobs for a marginal pay increase. After wrecking our union through the destruction of unity, they want to abandon the mess they created, taking no responsibility.
The difference between us is, I'll be here. You wont. Much wider viewpoint with a much longer horizon. Smart enough to know it isn't just about "me." To restore our contract, we to first get leverage.
P.S. Nothing personal and I apologize for the jab on the nose. When throwing a roundhouse insult you dropped your guard and the shot was taken.
