Back to eating paste now.

Not our problem. Green-slips for all my friends. We fly aircraft. management runs the company. If they are behind on staffing then that should be better for us.
With that said, this management team seems to be doing pretty good, which is also a big plus for the Pilot group. If staffing issues bend the profit margin down which I would rather not see, we will just have to make the most of it and enjoy a very "green" summer.
C-2012 is behind us. Yes, we must learn from each section 6, improve upon them, not make the same mistakes going forward, but fixating on what might have been is a waste of time.

I suspect, given a choice of a $0.05/hr raise for yourself or a $10/hr raise for FOs, you'd take the former.
