Again...I am not asking for anything nor expecting anything, but I do think there is a group of pilots who under-estimate how damaging those 10 years were.
I'm sure someone has the payscales for those years. Hopefully they will post them so that more facts and less emotion prevail
I think we need more than just pay scales. We need pay scales going back further to see high and low points corrected for inflation. We also need the corresponding work rules, because the contract language can completely change the value. I think we can get more facts from full data vs. two cherry picked years that you provided. Also, since we’re doing facts, new hires still don’t get hotels through initial training.
