So we get paid too much? Does the record amount of GS have any effect? Delta specifically called out the high amount of over time costs in one of their conference calls a few quarters ago. Is that the fault of our overly expensive contract? How about the costs they carried where some pilots didn't fly for multiple years due to training backlog while we cancelled flights due to a lack of pilots? Is that our fault too?
