I wonder how they came up with that number. A 767 captain makes about $178k/year after the Dec 04 paycut. A MD88 f/o makes about $105k.

From looking at the court brief, it looks like they are also including the 2004 earnings, which obviously inflates the numbers. This is misleading at best, but is most likely intention deception. Even if overtime pay is included in their calculations, I don't see how we could be averaging $169k.
