It was "industry standard" when the industry was in the worst possible shape since deregulation. Everyone happy!? Next subject

Unfortunately this Industy changes drastically and a decent "industry standard" contract today is crap tomorrow.

I start third year pay in March, I go to $78, my buddy on the 737 at United starts 3rd year pay at the same time, he goes $114.

Sucks balls but our third year pay was higher before their last contract. Industry standard is a moving target
