I wish I could remember which issue of the ALPA magazine it was in. They published a letter that was written to the pilot group in the 50's from managment at Flying Tigers about contract talks and that with the prospect of bringing a new/larger type of aircraft on property and growth and can't afford the proposed pay rates.

Intersting read. I also wish I could remember the pay rate that was listed in there as well for a 4 engine captain. I thought it worked out to somewhere around 275-300K in todays dollars.
