Southwest captains make 200k a year to fly a 737, United guys make 120k to fly an airbus virgin america even less, how about go express your outrage at them.
And show me anywhere else where a fourth year guy makes the same as a twelfth year guy. "When the industry was slow", nice grammar. How about "that contract was signed back when the regional industry was experiencing a downturn. United pilots signed a contract under the duress of chapter 11 section 1113. Republic pilots signed a contract under the duress of stupidity. Apples and oranges.
