Proof! Financial documentation to support your rhetoric. . .something I asked for above which you've not provided.

Stop the cutting fare and cutting back services war and you cna give the employees a pay raise. Stop flying unprofitable routes or aircraft and you can give employees a pay raise. Stop offering 8 flights a day to a city that provides only 10 or so people at a time and you can give employees a pay raise. Do I need to go on? |

English composition 101 - I don't see anyone arguing

for more money.
My argument? Like any other
business, show me the dollars and cents to justify the raise. Can you do that? Janitors ask for more money, waiters ask for more money. . .everyone asks for more money. Prove your statement above is true that the industry can afford what you want for the industry without burying it.
