And United, too I think. I’m stuck in the original regional jet so not up on widebody scales but $350/he TOS 737 is not historically in the stratosphere.

$300 accounted for inflation is about what we were making twenty years ago.

An ALPA email today mentioned that Hawaiian’s first contact in 1948 was for $360 per month. Online inflation calculator says $360 in 1948 is about $4,600 today.

Looks like in May ‘01 Delta 12 yr 737 CA made $224.80/hr

That rate would be equal to $389.37 today.

Delta 12 yr 737 CA will make $360.85 on Jan 1.

I was hoping with record inflation the last couple years the rates would’ve been higher. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I know you can’t. It was a rhetorical question…

there is not way to explain your uneducated position.

Yes, clearly I’m an uneducated simpleton. Solid volley return, there…I’m truly happy that you have found happiness in mediocrity here. Just wish your lack of self-worth didn’t actively dilute my career earning potential.

Funnily enough one of the guys defending Alaska in here is a moderator and I guess I hurt his little sensitive feelings by saying Alaska pilots are leaving in droves post contract. Facts hurt his feelings I guess. Careful what you say, if you offend him he’ll use his big boy moderator powers! OOOOOO!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

They must have come to Alaska for all of the growth that’s coming after the need for the LOAs in January and February. 🤣
