I cannot believe how short sighted or self centred some of you are.
There is no wonder that any negotiating team runs riot and try and screw whichever way they can.
You will not achieve anything by bickering on here to the tune off: ''oooooh look at him, he earns more than me. That's not right, he should earn less so I feel better''.
Aspire to achieve better results by organising yourselves and yes that does mean this:
get off your lazy arse in the flight deck and stop moaning about everything. Nobody in their right mind will just give it to you.
Time to grow up and live in the real world.
If you don't add value then you are increasingly becoming a cost.
You need to convince them that you are worth it (cue l'Oreal)
