That gap went away because we took a huge cut on the 7ER fleet. As I said, we are flying it for what amounts to narrowbody rates.

It's interesting to look at those old pay charts, then factor in the touching trips, 6 weeks vacation for senior guys, 1 for 2, etc... we have a lot to recoup. I know the execs have kept up with inflation, and then some.
