I disagree. Its not recovery at all. We will never get back to C2K at this rate.
These recent post bankruptcy contracts are ALPA conceding that a professional airline pilot's compensation has been permanently reset to a much lower level than we enjoyed prior to all the bankruptcies.
And that's just the payrates. Don't forget they got our pensions too.
Maybe it was inevitable. Maybe we were never really worth $319 and a 60% FAE DB. But let's call it what it is. Its not a reasonably paced recovery. Its the new normal.
