Define "that bad".


Compared to an entry level regional, yeah, we're doing pretty well, overall.

Thanks to the largesse on the part of OSWApA and the pilot group over the last few decades, much of our contract is more closely comparable to the regionals or ULCCs (and in many ways, inferior) vs. our peers at other major airlines.

We are, when you count inflation and the paltry, sub COL "raises" we've gotten, making less than we were a decade ago.

We haven't even had a sub COL raise in the 5 years since the contract became amendable, unless you count the 0% 2012 "raise" that was so shrewdly "negotiated" for by SWApA, in exchange for the privilege of flying longer duty days for the same or less pay in the 800 and a year extension to the current, concessionary contract. A true WIN!/WIN! (for the company).
