Oh, you're paid more than the Unocal guys, and the CAL guys haven't been to a bankruptcy court in what, 20 years. Delta Captains make about $20-$30 more per hour than a comparable UAL guy right now. But at least they promote themselves well. Personally, I prefer the paycheck, equity, and not having 1450 on the street with an incomplete merger staring me in the face.
Come on Man,
That is like a coach telling his team, "Im glad we're a team that is over 500 for the year and we made the playoffs, but we came up short and got knocked out the first round." You go in and want to win the whole thing!! You and ALPA seem like settling for some 10% raise is the answer. Don't you want significant gains for our pilot group? A 40% pay cut under a bankruptcy contract, loss of a pension, and now the company is making money. SWA plus should be just a start. They fly just 737 and our fleet goes up to 747-777-330. Its not even apples to oranges and you keep posting on here like we can't even get over their rates. You are unreal!!
