Be careful folks. Looks like your worth more.
I think it is particularly dim-witted to base pilot value/salary speculation on the strength of one year's financial performance. A great many PPRUNERs do this.
We should all be thankful that airline managements have longer memories than the average PPRUNER. In future years it will be shown that airlines are today enjoying quite possibly their most profitable period ever.
They are "making hay while the sun shines", but this period of record profits, unlike salary levels, is not permanent.
If you are one of the pilots referred to by this poster, and you get to retain your job after the inevitable downturn has set in, you will have the long-sightedness of your management to thank.
