Not every airline has a payscale that close, however. The lowest paid pilots at both U.S. Airways and American Airlines are making just $35 an hour while the highest is at $241.00. The remaining airlines keep the difference to less than $100, with Hawaiian having a $36 difference and Alaska Airlines, $30.
The takeaway is that Internet Brands doesn't have airline pilots writing this stuff. GIGO.
There is so much more to a CBA than pay rates, but since that's easiest data point to dump into a spreadsheet, that's what you get.
