Whats all this rubbish about goodwill? You pilots ought to come down from the clouds sometimes and then you would realise that you are not doing the company a big favour by turning up for work.
Obviously
you are not a pilot and
you don't realize that most of us turn up at least 20 minutes early
every day in order to have adequate time to do our pre-flight preparations such as getting all the paperwork (flight plans, weather, NOTAM's etc) and reviewing it. The reason that most airlines don't schedule this working time is because they would otherwise run into problems with maximum duty hours, something
you (baggage loader/dispatcher/COO/SLF) don't have to worry about.
As someone else has already stated, salaries are generally dictated by market forces relating to in this case the employment of pilots. If I were voting I would take this into consideration before rejecting the offer out of hand
Well...you are
not voting, because you are
not a pilot.
