Just out of curiousity, what was the standard of living that you expected when you got into this career in the first place. Which was your first major airline and what did they pay? Was it C2K? Was C2K industry leading or industry standard? In your experience negotiating contracts, when are economic goals announced? If UAL had announced there 2000 contract goals in 1998, would they have been less than what they announced after the Delta dot or more than? Just curious.
