United (ALPA) and Delta (ALPA) each have approximately FOUR times the number of pilots we have right now. With pay rates at those airlines and ours all in the same ballpark for the sake of this discussion, how could we possibly be "THE biggest" contributor any longer?
I am just guessing, but I think we have more wide body aircraft than either of those airlines. Perhaps someone can check on my guess.
If we have more wide body pilots, our contributions might be "more" than airlines with fewer wide body pilots.
Again, just theorizing. I don't have time to back it up with facts, but I am sure someone else will come along to correct me if I am wrong.
