Philly Pilot states it like it is. If you take away 23.5 of your wages in 03 and give it back in 08 you still have a lower wage without figuring inflation. The number is smaller so you are still below the 03 pay. I hate to see a strike to settle this but it looks like it is going to happen unless management gets realistic about how unfair the last year has been in compensation of management and employees after the big pay cuts. SHUT THEM DOWN! Maybe that will get their attention for a while.
