We've been 'told' time and time again that a strong healthy balance sheet will be the best route to more compensation. So far, I've (personally) not seen it. I for one am tired of trading productivity and approved harassment for a few extra dollars, all the while I'm flying more and getting nickled and dimed by medical expenses (anybody looked at our vision plan? We're pilots for crying out loud!) and reduced profit sharing. And now we are even 'negotiating' to keep a part of our contract in force! If people aren't willing to tell DALPA enough is enough, by way of rejecting any future agreement that doesn't measure up to our level of contribution to the bottom line, then we deserve what we get, which I assure you will be more of the same. There are many ways to increase compensation without scaring off investors or starting a riot among non contract employees. More 401K, better trip and duty rigs, better compensation for training and vacation, and a much, much better medical plan for starters...
As a NB FO, my 2012 versus 2013 compensation increased 27% for the same number of workdays.
The medical plan increases were more than offset by the health rewards dollars, so my medical increase was 0%.

Are you talking about the US deficit? I have zero idea how anybody can defend $17,000,000,000,000 in debt when the number of people chipping in to pay for it is going down. It's "unpatriotic" (now who said that?) to run those kinds of numbers. But I guess if you are talking about rate of increase/decrease, the books should balance when J.L.Picard is flying around the galaxy.

In which direction has the US deficit been going? Larger, or smaller?
Patriotic, or un-patriotic?

Many around you have seen plenty of increases (enough, not nearly, but significant progress, yes)

Here's another comparison for you. I started smoking today, and I will quit this afternoon. Good for me, right?

2013 accumulation of reward dollars was roughly $600, which went into your HSA/FSA/funny money account. The increases in premiums and deductible for 2104 was roughly $550.

Am I the only person here that's not upset about the second distribution and subsequent performance? 12 dollars.. 4 dollars, regardless it just crossed 37 dollars today. That's a good performing investment no matter how you cut it.
