    I am looking at this in a different way. I see the price of everything at the airport going WAY up to cover the cost of the raises. Passengers will protest the price increase - especially since you can't bring a lot of things through security to mitigate the higher costs.

    It looks like we'll get a ruling before Jan 1 on this from the courts. I've tried digging in on this to see if airline employees are exempt. I know for a fact that pilots/FAs, etc are. But, I can't seem to find where they draw the line. Everywhere I've read has made no mention of airline rampers, CSAs, etc. The lists I see quite often on the sites supporting/against the measure make no mention of airline employees at all. I can't help but wonder how this will turn out for those who are airline employees but not on the pay scale (ie: Delta ready reserves...aka me.) We're employed by the airline without the benefits. An in house outsourcing if you will. I don't know if there is specific language to address this issue in the proposition.

    edit: Also, with regard to prices going up, the vendors at the airport are only allowed to charge up to what they would pay on the streets for the same product. It's why prices aren't jacked up at SEA like a lot of other airports. I see there being a lawsuit over this for sure.
