Well I know what I know and the numbers for the UAL stuff anyway is completely skewed and inaccurate. Which makes me think the rest of it is bovine scatology as well. But it sure will send the next batch kids running to sign up at ERAU.

I think most pilots would be happy if airline pilot pay were more balanced (Major airline captains would make less than ~200K and regional airline FO's would make more than ~30K).
Because major airline pilot pay is so high, pilots are willing to sacrifice while at regional airlines for 5-10 years, with the hope of eventually making large salaries.

Maybe you can help us out with the math? The APC site says starting hourly pay at UAL is $61. If you are year 6 and barely cracking 40, you'd have to be making less than $55/hr at 70 hour guaranteed.

Barely cracking? That's 3 (6 weeks) of my guarantee paychecks over $100,000.
If you can't make it on that at guarantee, you are doing something wrong.
