Decades Carl? That's laughable. Delta 777 CAs made $337 per hour while under C2K.

That's right. And their contract came AFTER an ALPA carrier raised the bar. SWA has NEVER raised the bar. They got there by other ALPA carriers taking concessions. But you already know that.

Why an ironic statement from you.

Nope. I'm not blind. I'm not blinded by anger or misperceptions at all.
