OK.. Citation Bravo and whatever else you fly at your company... being an adult and negotiating your own payrate might work at a company where you have 5..6.. maybe even 20 pilots, but do you really believe that it would work at a company with 12,000 pilots? You say you are not anti union, yet your rhetoric bad mouths them at almost every turn.. I find it somewhat amusing that you talk about seeing a payraise of 10-15% per year "usually".. good for you. Do you think that kind of return will last forever Mr Madoff?

Please...this was no "negotiation" in real life. It was a blatant attempt by management to disuade people from voting for ALPA, which was gaining momentum. You seriously think that management would have offered the pay increases if not for the very real threat of ALPA on property? It was a raise of the least amount that Maury G. thought was necessary to kill the union drive. That is all. Let me know how well the "negotiations" go next time around, or this May, when you all take a pay cut with the sliding pay scale, without a union drive underway.

Someone has their panties in a bunch. Maybe it is hard for some people to believe, but there are some companies out there that take care of their employees and compensate them accordingly. And unlike most airlines, if they have a year where their profits are not that high, the CEOs don't run off with millions in bonuses.
Interesting though that you didn't answer any of my questions...
