You can bet that if doctors, lawyers and yes, management executives
had to go back to first year grad. school pay when leaving their current employer,
because the employers were in collusion to force it to happen profession wide,
there would be significant lawsuits and battles over changing the behavior.
But here we are, with some still confused that this is a collective process in our profession.
The JRM people are a sad example.
The fact that some brag openly about it is disgusting, besides being detrimental to the unity and force of the pilot group.

The 1% have double downed their attack on labor the last ten years. More $ for them means less $ for us labor. What is amazing is how many labors sympathies with the 1%.

Are you aware that there are gardeners that worry that YOU are making too much money and if YOU weren't paid so much, they could buy a cheaper plane ticket. I recommend you spend less time worrying about how much your neighbor makes or the 1% and spend MORE time worrying about doing what it takes to make YOU more money. I would start with a unified pilot group worrying about things that matter, like why WE don't have a contract yet. Jeff's paycheck is all about what he is able to negotiate not a penny more.

I have a four year degree, 6 type ratings, and 16000 hours of flight time like a lot of our pilots do. What's that worth?

As long as your focus is on Jeff and others at this company who get the compensation they think they deserve, you will never get the compensation you deserve.

Keep listening to Keith Oberman and Rachal Maddow and The Ed Show, so you will know how to think.

How sad that my post providing information got so many rabid comments. Are we all members of the same profession and the same union? Seems not to me. Some of you may be 'SIT'.
