In addition the changes in medical and other benefits where out of pocket expenses went up impact them on a greater basis. A 300 dollar increase in monthly medical expenses means a lot more to some one bringing home 2000 a month then someone bringing home 6000 a month.
Not if that someone bringing home 2000 a month lives alone with a cat, is collecting Social Security and has Medicare coverage, while the one bringing home 6000 a month is supporting a wife and three kids, two of whom are in college...
NEVER equate a F/A job, or their pay, to ours! It takes exactly 4 days to teach any highschool drop out to open an emergency exit. How many years, and thousands of hours, and dollars, does the typical new hire pilot invest, just to be qualified to show up at a DL interview?
