No matter how big a pay cut, it wont matter anyway in a situation like this. Everyone who is performing a professional job should get paid accordingly. Whats the percentage of crew cost vs total cost anyway? Barely makes a difference what a pilot earns.
We just have to get paid for what we deliver. And while the computer geeks continue to collect the big bucks while we are fighting jet lag, cosmic radiation, routine checks, medicals and terrorist threats we have to take pay cuts? I dont think so.
