It’s not really their choice right now in my opinion. They either pay or go under. There’s a going rate and that’s what will be asked for. And they don’t even really have time to fight it either. They aren’t dumb they knew this when they agreed to merge.

And if inflation is going to continue at the present rate, we really need to think about indexing the pay scale to the CPI or some other index. Social Security does that, Military retirement does that. Heck, even bank lines of credit go for LIBOR plus however many points. While I would like to think that inflation is going to mellow out after the supply chains get fixed, even just two years at 7.5% is a huge hit. Imagine if it were to last five years without renegotiation…. |

the same engineers that made the 737 MAX are going to be the ones that make it happen, right?
This is what Amazon looked like 20 years ago when they were selling books on a new thing called the internet. Around the time this screenshot was taken, there were quite a few FEs on mainline aircraft. What happened to those guys? |

We need to get paid and get our 401ks stuffed before the robots take our jobs.
