They are working under a concessionary contract right now, but that will all change when contract negotiations open up in about one year. Take a look at their contract 2000. I would expect nothing less for their next contract. Just look at the leadership APA is providing. They are asking for their 2000 level pay plus inflation over the past 7 years (over 30% raises). Things will get better at United.

Just my two cents....but anyone who thinks that Glen Tilton or any other CEO in this industry is going to buy into a carbon copy of United's Contract 2000 in this day and time is delusional at best. Will the pendulum swing back towards a better contract...absolutely. Will you see the equivalent of $ 225,000/yr for a B-727 Captain working 15-17 days a month ? Dream on. Ye gads...I'd go back for that.

G'Day mates !!
