I didn't say anyone was guaranteed anything. Read it again... what I said was, if you are not getting a cost of living increase = to at least actual cost of living increases, you ARE in effect taking a paycut.Noone is guaranteed a raise at any job. COLA raises included. No employer has to give a raise each year just cause the cost of living goes up. My wife didn't get a payraise this year cause the industry she is in is down right now.
You get what the company can afford, what you can negotiate, or move on to a job that can pay you more. I know the airlines are different but no raise is guaranteed in any job.
The origional statement was that Skywest has not taken paycuts...maybe not having $ taken away but, if they're not getting COLA each year, they're "losing" money (same as a paycut). Don't try to make too much out of it. If they have gotten no increase in the last 7 years, their money isn't worht as much now. Its a fact. ECON 101.
