What I meant by great operation, though, is that it is a dynamic, exciting airline, will offer a great product and will be very successful.

Well first of all, the most junior Captain at United is making 128/hr right now plus a 15% retirement fund contribution each month, that is 147/hr in real cash. 95/hr is a joke. Not even Ind Air paid that ****ty. Secondly, 127/hr in 6 years? Do you suppose US Airways and United pay will go up on their next contract? You will be crowing about 127/hr in 6 years and UAL and US Airways will be at 150+. Doesn't sound too good to me, but some guys will work for food.
