NEWS: American Airlines Gives Everybody a Raise

If you work for American Airlines in the US then congratulations, you got a raise…all 1.5% of it. Don’t get me wrong…its nice to see a little (emphasis on little) ray of sunshine in our grey landscape. But I am thinking that the CEO’s 1.5% raise looks better than the baggage handlers 1.5%.

I wonder how many people got bumped up into the next higher tax bracket by this raise causing them to make less money not more. I speak from experience, it can happen.
