These are pulled off of APC, not actual contracts so it could be different. There's pluses and minuses to both places, I'm not debating that. I'm debating the fact that we are the lowest paid Airbus pilots.
And i would counter with we are the lowest paid, at least when you look at our labor cost. This is for 2014, but of the top ten airlines are labor cost is the lowest by far. No matter what managment says theres a lot of room to increase pay and still make huge profits.
