That said, I do think the long term personal financial impacts of contract differences (pension & B plan vs bigger B plan, single pay band vs multiple pay bands, work rules, etc.) is both interesting to inform contract improvements and career planning for new guys.

Wouldn't be surprised if this article was *created for* our negotiations, "interesting" assumptions and all. "Look at these greedy, underworked, overpaid pilots! Top of the pile, and they dare ask for MORE!"
