You have repeatedly sounded the trumpet that higher payrates are unsustainable at least not C2K (forget COLA).
Actually, that's not true. What I have said, and still believe, is that absent our fellow pilots doing their part instead of thumping their chests, it is unsustainable for Delta pilots pay rates to be 50+% above the industry average. We can be at the top, even some percentage above the next competitor, but not 50%.

The truth is, LM's quote was vague enough that it could be taken many ways. The greater good of the profession is certainly difficult to nail down - who's agenda is going to be GREATER in a good way?
Only the biggest cynic would believe what many here seem to believe: that somehow it is in ALPA National's interest for flying to be transferred from higher wage paying (and dues paying) pilot groups to lower wage (and dues) paying pilot groups. I simply try to counter that illogical argument every time it comes up.
