I really hope you're right about that. But I gotta be honest, I will be truly SHOCKED if our opener is even a 30% increase in pay. With guys like RW in Strategic Planning, his sidekick RH, and a Moak disciple as MEC Chairman, I just don't see anything remotely close to that happening.

But I'll tell ya what... if our opener would result in a big enough increase that our average domestic narrowbody pilot would have a W2 of over $230K (with no scope givebacks), I'll buy you a steak dinner with all the trimmings and write "ACL is a genius" 100 times on the APC chalkboard! How's that?
