That is why it is so important that we mentor the next generation of pilots! That’s like saying “many weren’t alive when CAL and UAL had their strikes so they don’t know how bad SCABs crushed our profession”. Ignorance of the past is not an excuse.
Think UAL CEO’s pay hasn’t kept up with inflation?
Goodwin’s 2000 salary was $843,528 and his bonus was $225,000.

I think they’ve managed to do it……
I just went to C2000 since 99.9% of our pilots were alive then. I didn’t bother going back to the days my mentors spoke of where it paid enough to buy a new Cadillac per month lol.
