Remember that you are UNDER PAID. That means ask for a raise, not take a pay cut.

It's management not acting in good faith with ALL the employee groups (union and non-union). The employee position at AirTran is simple. We are telling management if you need higher revenue then you need to get it from passengers not workers.
That about sums it up!

So I take it you don't work there... It's easy to say if it isn't YOUR livelihood in question. Pretty selfish..

I work there and totally agree with EFIScompmon. I will not vote for a pay cut. If they can't manage their money, then "shutter down".

But, they are the best management team in the business (self-proclaimed by Mr. Kolski) so pay cuts shouldn't be a necessity since they are the best, right?

Pay cuts WILL NOT keep people on property, PERIOD! With the cost of goods and services going up across the board, why should I take a pay CUT? My gas and groceries are still going up, how are they more affordable with a pay cut?

Just curious

Our management team probably is the best in the industry when it comes to stupidity and how poorly they think of us and treat us. It's a NO for my vote!
