Clean up your post - 1988 or 1998? And cite a reference for what you're claiming.

You must have been in cryogenic storage the last 15 years because it was brutal for the airline industry - and cherry picking the previous zenith of airline salaries weakens your case. Maybe you should use the old worn out comparison that an airline captain in the 1960s was paid the equivalent of a new Cadillac every month? That's an equally unrealistic datapoint..[/QUOTE]



Sorry I meant 1988


I know United put 17-18 percent pretax profit margins today

You get what you negotiate remember that and yes I have been around since 89 and I have a clue what happen the last 15 years do you ?

Are you the furlough coordinator ?
