Continental (under Kellner) did not want to be the airline leading the pack. That's one of the reasons they proposed to take a pass and just offer "delta plus a dollar." They figured they would squeeze that dollar back out of you somewhere else (PBS for example).[/QUOTE]





I can't recall when CAL paid Delta plus a dollar
Can you educate me about CAL contracts?

I remember all Captains 120 per hr
and all FOs 70 so per hour till the 95or 96 contract and an average pay during their 2000s contract ( still below their competition )
