No one will ever be a 1-year 777 Captain at AA, so that pay rate is a joke.

It is put there to entice knuckleheads who look at spreadsheets of airline pay rates. It will skew everything their way.

Yes, AA finally has payrates that have caught up with inflation and everything else. But the work rules they agreed to suck.

The Delta guys said no to a TA with lots of $$ but also a lot of ass-pain. Good for them - work rules define how good your life is.
