C'mon CaptainMark. UAL had 44 747's back then and 50 777's at a not too shabby $292/$197 per hour. But if you couldn't hold a widebody, there was always the narrowbody Airbus at $232/$158 per hour. You know, I talk to a lot of guys who were around this place in 1986 after the strike. They tell of the outrageous b-scale and the low morale and how everybody thought the airline pilot job would never pay what it "used to". These were the same guys earning $300/hour in 2003. My point? the future is uncertain my friend.
