Here is one source: Pilot salaries went from 10.52% of operating revenue in 2002 to 6.53% in 2009. FAs went from 4.69% to 3.09% and management from .51% to .11%.

GSs btw are not for proffer. If you forget and answer the phone there are just a few reasons you can legally decline said GS but you can't just say no because you don't wanna.

Holy Sh&t, I'm not on reserve next month! Guess I'll have to start paying attention to the swap board conversations now

Wow, obviously these folks haven't had the pleasure of the 30+ hour layover in ... Newport News/Williamsburg, VA. Or perhaps Jackson, MS.

This company cracks me up and then some.

Yes, 738, 739 and A32X are 757 replacements.

But when I say replacement I'm not talking about the airframe but rather that airlines opted for a financially motivated substitute. My argument is instead of buying a kid a new Lexus they get the Camry, not as great but it does the job.

In no way does the 737 compare to the 757 but the tweaked and stretched 1968 737 is still available for purchase with a large and healthy company sustaining backorder while the venerable 1983 757 is no longer in production because the orders dried up.

I was one that hated the old MCO overnight, but I never wrote a formal complaint. However, the 30 hr PHF I love(d) because its 15 min from my paents house in Yorktown. Yes... I'm selfish.
