again, I seriously wish you luck with negotiating. After you guys gain a professional level of pay and benefits, then we'll compare profits. Your airline is profitable because you subsidize it.
Not true! Raising our pay to above Southwest Airlines rates would only impact our profit margin approximately 3.2 - 4.1%; that's hardly subsidizing anything. You have no idea what you're talking about. We would still maintain profit margins in the mid to high 20% range. This is one argument that the unions are going to have to abandon because it doesn't apply to our company. At the same time, it will help us in negotiating if management tries to claim it will jeopardize their margins. Try again.
