United after ta passes this week will have all captains above $200 with 12 year wide body captain over $300. Retirement is DC 16% profit sharing not as good as delta
AA has all captains over $200. 16% DC retirement. No profit sharing.

Many southwest pilots made/make the argument that their 737 pay should be even higher than the legacies because they can't move to a widebody for more money. We should be thinking the same way! This isn't world/southern/Mesa/Miami ****bag cargo/insert regional.
Work like a professional, think like a professional,negotiate like a professional, get paid like a professional.
We are not sun country. They screwed up and will live with that for the next 8-10years. Don't be fooled.
