No, I'm not, you are. Your mantra seems to be that the regional sector should just s-t-f-u and be happy about what they have. Yeah, because that's worked so well across all spectrums.

As mentioned,3 jobs ago it was norm for me, and friends at 3 other companies. But true, there were regionals that paid absolute shiite. But hey, there's still a legacy kinda sucks too.

Agree, but adjust even the lower paid ones for inflation/buying power compared to now. I'm a believer in what some of the other guys in the thread said. DAL, and other legacies are STILL underpaid compered to pre concession levels. And these profits were helped along greatly by that.

Read the above, I'm NOT denying ANYTHING. As far as where I worked, PNCLCREW spent time there, maybe he'll chime in
And as you should know, hourly rate DOESN'T, nor does it EVER tell the WHOLE story.
Where did YOU work before DAL?
