We're one step ahead of you PAF - we took a 12 month pay freeze after Sept 11, in a year which the company was one of few if any airlines still making a profit (and actually not such a bad one either)! You might note however, that QFs bonus and incentive scheme for employees in years of record-profits is, err, somewhat lacking in substance shall we say. The great unwashed employees have this kind of bizarre desire to get a few crumbs of the increased profit-pie when they've spent all year trying to operate more efficiently and burn less fuel, help fix scheduling traumas through goodwill, extend duty hours after diversions, etc, etc, etc.
