By the time you get a pay raise, what will that be, almost a decade of brining up the industry rear? Good luck guys I hope you can rape Tilton as bad as he has you. I just don't see UAL causing qualified applicants to trip over themselves to apply, there isn't anything there.>>>>>
Oh. I don't know, 1100 applicants in 2 weeks. And the paycut came in 2003. The second one in 2005. I think it will be considerably less than a decade when we get our raise. Lets not exaggerate. It is like your co-worker CaptainMark said. "UAL set the bar". So now since were not the highest paid pilot group anymore, were ****? There are many jobs in aviation. Probably 80% pay less than ol' UAL. Even now. Probably why 2/3 of the furloughees accepted recall. Good on you for jumping ship and going to the cargo side. That does'nt mean that is best for everyone. You will just have to wait until you retire to see if you did the right thing.
