All these Legacy carriers are marginal by your standards Bill.... Flamebait thats all your purpose is here...
Wrong Herc. This is more commentary about how pi$$ poor our industry as become over the last 5-10 years. If an Omni 777 Captain can't break $150K then that is pathetic. Don't get me wrong - nothing against the Omni pilots. I am all in favor of having them make as much as possible. It's not their fault. It is just sad if that is the case. I agree that the major pilots are suckin' it too - everyone except the SWA/AT pilots who get paid a fantastic amount for their flying/aircraft. Good for them. I bet there are mid-level SWA FOs who make more than $150K without sweating it much. Just hoping that the Omni 767/777 Captains can be paid a "reasonable" amount given their experience, skills and rough schedule... That's all I meant.
