DAL and UAL just signed contracts that approximately equal their bankruptcy contracts of 7-8 years ago when adjusted for inflation. It keeps getting worse.
Hogwash. You're actually implying that because one limo driver makes money, then by logic all corporate pilots make good money? Man, you've got to do some more research.
BTW, NetJets has 450 pilots on furlough and I'm fairly certain they're on a concessionary contract. They make less then many Legacy pilots.
My point being, there will always good and bad jobs in both fields. While it's true that the CEO of Microsoft flies around in a private jet, can the same be said for all of his employees that travel on business? Corporate business accounts are huge for airlines.
