I gotta ask: Are you qualified and trained to read and calculate a companies profitability? Are you a CPA or do you have an MBA?

I am not, and I hear people all the time talking about the companies books like they DO know what they are talking about. Take the latest round of paycuts XJT took - we had 'chicken littles' running around saying the sky is gonna fall when all they were doing was feeding off of fear propaganda.

I fly an airplane from point A to B as safe as I can. THAT is my job. I do not run marketing, planning, scheduling, hedge fuel, etc. - and I plan on raising the bar on this next contract - both in terms of pay and work rules. If you are looking for extra cash for this company then look elsewhere because you are not gonna get it from me.
