All legacies make more than VX, except US Air pilots who made numb decisions to get stuck under LOA 93. When VX started, the legacies were already all in post-bankruptcy era contracts when management set VX rates. That was the landscape the industry was in, post 9/11, high oil and a recession. Today, all those legacies have improved their pay into a much better position than the post 9/11 contracts, and much better than VX. VX didn't hinder UAL, CAL, nor Delta. All these airlines scored new pilot pay withotu any hindrance from VX. US Air is the only one, but they have their own internal issues that caused their current LOA 93 predicament.
