Flight Bags

Yeah sorry about that. My colleagues like to compare W2s for some reason.

This place is weird.
Seems to be an industry thing. Salary was never talked about, anywhere I worked outside of aviation for 25 years.

In this business it’s a normal thing to talk openly about money. With astonishing tone deafness among others who don’t make nearly as much.

It’s baffling. And rude as hell.

I will say, I don’t like the blanket “never talk about salary” because it’s an old fashioned way to keep labor from getting together and going “hey wait a minute, we’re getting screwed here!”
That said, asking people to read social cues and not talk about money in front of van drivers, rampers, etc who are making way less is apparently too much to ask. That’s then it gets into “dude, read the room” territory.
