I noticed about 6 months ago that the usual chatter (VHF-FM radio) between pilots discussing the next expected pay raise......wasn't there, has not happened.

I noticed a conversation (via VHF-FM radio) about two weeks ago concerning the likelihood of a pay cut (which was deemed acceptable) vs. layoffs.

About 2 days ago, we were told by our Port Captain to expect word to come down from the "Chain of Command (executives) that we will have to tighten up our Grocery and Supply Budgets.

The dominos have started falling, albeit in slow motion, but they have started falling. At least from my perspective.
