As a matter of fact, now, based on that statement I'm not even sure you work here. Not that it actually pertains to the subject.

No, I made $278k. But if I made that on our lowest paying equipment Im sure our more senior captains made $300k or better.

My point is that we have a very senior pilot group with the majority approaching retirement age. That is going to flavor the next couple of contracts. And pay % may not be at the top of everyones wish list. And I doubt those approaching retirement are going to want to drag out negotiations for many years entertaining unreasonable contract demands from the just say NO crowd.

So yes, the time value of money is more important the older you are I would say.
