re: Sure, the payscale is lopsided, but that's life. No, it's a distinct, measurable change. The pay scale used to be much flatter. "But that's life" is just a cop out. And if you don't object, the change will just get worse. "That's life", you have to stand up for what you believe in. Its very true. A friend called me yesterday. Last fall, she was kicked off a Northwest flight involuntarily. They gave her a free voucher to fly anywhere in the US round trip. Since then, she has tried to use the voucher several times but only once did NW come up with an available flight but it was only one way. Finally, she wrote them. In response, they sent her a three page form that did not address the issue. She was furious but had decided to give up. [By way of history, NW had once been a great airline based in MN but about ten years ago, it got bought up by a group in LA and service has declined considerably]. In addition to this incident, she just got bumped overnite from another NW flight because of mechanical problems [she flies the MPLS-Portland route a lot and NW is the only one that flies non stop]. I told her to write the president and send a copy to the FAA. I told her it was her responsibility as a consumer; that Americans had gotten lazy and are forgetting that its they who have to keep corporations and elected officials accountable. I don't know if she will do it........I hope she does. ted
