VX doesn't top out @ $120. It's $133 year 10 pay which is higher than USAir which no one ever mentions. Their 73/A320 pay tops out at $125 at year 16 according to APC. They are not bottom feeders though are they. They're not bringing down the rest of the profession with their contract (which I assume is a leftover ALPA deal).
VX is a gamble in some ways, but ask the senior guys at jetBlue if the gamble was worth it.
