No one is suggesting that- at least from what I have read. However, have your eyes wide open at what an attitude of 'I have to accept what is on offer as it's the 'best' offer on the table' does for your long term prospects. Sure, take the job.....but it's not like the J* crew don't already have decent jobs. We're talking about nearly DOUBLE the number of passengers for a measly 7%. You could ask for a 50% pay rise and the company are probably still going to come out in front in terms of cost per ASK.
