That being said, I don't see how $$$ has direct bearing on QOL. If someone is living beyond their means, then perhaps more money would makes things easier. However, it's likely that if one lives outside of their means at a lower salary they will likely live outside their means with a higher salary as well.
For me, QOL is max productivity while I'm at work so I can minimize time away from my family. I dont want C2K rates plus inflation/COLA if there aren't improvements made to the work rules/vacation/Sec 23G etc.
I couldn't agree more with your post. As far as the first sentence, this is the context: we coughed up most of the work rules in LOA 46, under the threat of BK. In BK, we didn't give up a lot of work rules, but the damage had been done. So it's technically correct to say we didn't give up a lot of workrules in BK, even though what we ended up with exiting BK was a far cry from what we had in C2K.
But it doesn't make us feel any better looking at the end results...
