Almost there. Only $3 off. Remember, inflation does not exist when negotiating contracts. There is no such thing as a COLA to ALPA. A 3 percent raise is always sold as a 3 percent increase in spending power.

And just think how much better you will do when you go over to SWA...

I would trade your seniority for a captain's seat at Southwest. Unfortunately, I wouldn't trade my seniority for a new hire spot at Southwest so I'm stuck. Does it not bother you at all that 12 years later, we are still making less than the inferior NWA contract was paying?

And I wouldn't trade places with the number 1 SWA pilot.

All legacies gave multiple concessions to try and keep their company out of bankruptcy. The theory was if your company goes bankrupt, you lose your pension. It was pretty much true. Unfortunately, they all went into bankruptcy anyway and those per-bankruptcy give-backs were for nothing. The pensions were restructured and then more give-backs were expected in bankruptcy. It was a big failure on ALPA's fault. ALPA should have realized the companies were all going bankrupt and never given back a cent outside of bankruptcy. The American pilots gave back 23 percent and told the company that was it. They actually were serious unlike some other pilot groups.

It would bother me if there were a substantial portion of the industry that was making more. There's not. We are leading. Sitting behind your keyboard, you have the luxury to cherry pick the best of everybody else's contract, and declare ours an abysmal failure since it doesn't meet that expectation. Get in touch with reality son.
