Hope your negotiations move quickly and profitably.

Could you explain why exactly this bothers you.
So, yes if you're on the bubble it will change what you should have gotten.

I fly with lots of guys who pull in 2large annually on the 190. 1 guy who's an admitted airwh0re has made 250+ multiple years running.
Most are 9+ yr guys living in base. One guy commutes S. Fla to bos.
If you're holding a line, I don't think its too hard to get that kind of check.
