Actually, I don't think that after 12 years at an airline that $75 and hr is a high rate of pay. Looking at the contract we struck for in 2001, I should be making $88 an hr and looking to make something like $112 after 16 years at the company. Moving to the 70 seater would have made me about $121 if I remember right. That is not a bad pay rate and might have kept me at the company with many others. Now I'm forced to look for another job to get the wages I think are fair.
