Just looking to gauge things these days...

Since the new United pay scale, I wanted to know what it was like before people weren't getting paid as much as they should. Not looking for an argument about who pays best or pay better. But what was it like in the golden days?

I talked to and old us air guy. He said the quote was "6 dollars a minute"

Flew with a guy said he did the shuttle BOS-LGA and that's it. Made 270k before 9/11. After made 140k.

So what was it like back then. What were the pay scales?

I believe One of the legacies had $300/hr narrow body CAs back in '99?

That's a lot of money back then and that $300/hr with inflation is a lot of money now.

I heard $170ish for us air 737 FO pay at 4th years pay

In the '70s, it was "a Cadilliac a month". Price that out with today's car prices?

Captains today can still buy a 70's Cadillac a month.

That would be 100K/month (escalade). I could make ends meet on that.

In 1988, DAL 757/767 pay was 13,000. a month.

Highest usair FO pay ever got was around $150/hr. for 767 12th year. This was right before 911.

Other guys have em, and they'll probably be able to beat me before I get to computer I have them on. But I can give the UAL/DAL C00/01 rates, as well as the NWA rates. I have AA's but can't remember if they're the concession rates or not.

.

Were they waiting on a "parity +" provision to kick in with DAL C01? Or did they need AA to ink as well?

I'm not familiar with all the parity plus details.
