Think UAL CEO’s pay hasn’t kept up with inflation?
Goodwin’s 2000 salary was $843,528 and his bonus was $225,000.

Now Scott Kirby United $9.85 million.

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.
I agree completely. My concern is how some don’t understand that the truly industry leading contract that we want isn’t going to be an easy fight. Both us and the company have the option of saying no during the negotiations process. I really hope that we’re willing to go the distance, but my confidence just isn’t there. Again, I sincerely hope that I’m wrong.
