An AA 737 is within 12% of us? I stand corrected. Oh wait...everybody there is and will be a 777 CPT. My bad.
All BS aside after a furlough at a "real" airline in the 80's I started looking at where to work from an accountant's viewpoint instead of a pilot's. It has served me faily well. While never say never is valid, if you actually look at the financials nothing even comes close to FDX and UPS. But, on the occasional commercial (in first always for us in ANC) I'll be happy to point out where the nearest bathroom is so I can fell like a Marvin Mainliner.
