1257:
Something I learned a long time ago is to present figures which really mean something and frankly I don't get what you are trying to say.
What we all need is a comparison of actual current pay rates not some mythical adjusted rates. What are UAL, CAL, DAL and SWA pilots really getting paid today. No adjustment for inflation, 2000, 2004 etc. Just the cold hard facts.
By doing so it will be shown how much greater SWA pilots are actually paid. You might also add in any cash payments to the associated 401K ("b/c") plans and add these values to the pay.
Apples to apples please!
