Did I hear you say 6% and 2 weeks????????????
Are you serious? We had record profits and you're talking about being happy with 6% and 2 weeks. WOW!!! No wonder management choose to treat us like slaves. Guys like you are settling for crap.
You're also missing the point. A 6% raise this year is not the same salary level as having gained our 3% both years. Maybe you don't appreciate the concept of Compound Interest.
Management also like chaps like YOU. Don't let these bull****ters convince you that you're back where you would've been with 3% x2 .... IF they give 6% this year. Which they won't.
Yes, the compound effect on 3% is a small amount but it should've been YOUR small amount. Some of the FOs with three or four kids might resent not getting it.
"Every little bit counts". That should be their corporate motto.
Even if they give us 6%, the compound interest effect (as well as the 12month delay) saved them millions in the meantime. Read Safar - You'll soon see someone in our management grinning with a shiny Najzm Award for happily screwing the pilots out of some (more) cash.
