A cursory look at used Malibu's shows sales prices of anywhere from about $500,000 up to almost $1 million! I don't think a 70% (C2K+COLA) pay increase would get me anywhere near the ballpark of being able to afford that. Would love to have one, though. Maybe I'll win the lottery. Nah, that requires buying lottery tickets. DC-9's might be pretty cheap (but not less than a Malibu), but I couldn't even pay the gas bill on a DC-9!
Bidding back to the 88? Who knows where I'll end up? My relative seniority as a Captain has done nothing but slide backwards since the merger. I might be back on the 88 as an F/O!
