What that means is CAL pilots are going to lose money as a direct result of the recent contract and UAL pilots will gain money.
Take a look at page 40-44 of the UAL exhibits from Ruark. Flip back and forth.
Can anyone explain to me how they understand what I am saying.
Just wondering who else get's it . . .

Just to clarify 737 pay.
Contract '97 for CAL was by no means an industry leading contract. Average to below average at best.
12 year Capt max pay was $178/ hour.
New UPA 12 year 737Capt pay is $188/hour.
Pay raise $10/ hour over 15 years.
I don't believe the argument that WB pay suffered for the 737 pay increase holds up.
I think what you meant to say is WB pay suffered as a result of the UPA.......PERIOD.
