I hear a lot about 16 years to catch up....I think some pilots are underinformed as to just how shi**y the pay was for a lot of those years. If you take a 46% pay cut in rates, it takes a 92% increase in rates just to get back to where you started( and then factor in inflation. Not advocating for anything....just more factual data.
When we use the term “catch up”, are we talking about catching up to a high water mark? Did I hear wrong that the pre-bankruptcy pay tables weren’t necessarily reflective of the previous decade? If someone is looking up old pay rates, I’d actually like to see them back into the 90s myself.
I’ll probably look at any sub-15% profit sharing check as substandard for the rest of my career, but we know that those profits really were an anomaly.
