Um.... UAL new hires actually take a sizable pay cut when they finish IOE. ($85/hr X 90 hrs)+$50/day per diem + hotel expenses paid for + PS travel on off days. Maybe you should actually read the contracts. DAL new hires are making almost $90/hr and those are the ones who aren't upgrading to CAPTAIN.

Notice that article didn't give any specifics?
Swing and a miss.
