AAL Pay in the 1970s

[Wiskey Driver]

I have a magazine article that was printed in Aug 1966 in the AOPA PILOT that read "WE'LL PAY YOU $1,000,000 TO FLY FOR UNITED!" It further indicated that "to give you and idea of how your salary progresses at United consider the fact that you start at $6600/yr as a second officer and at the beginning of your second yr you earn $10,200/yr 3rd yr was $14,400 4th yr $15,600 5 yr $16,800 etc etc. It took 10 to 12 years to make captain and a salaryu of $23,000 to $33,000 depending on the equipment you fly. The article even has a coupon to mail in for more info.


I wish I could scan it so everyone could see. Maybe someone can get it from AOPA PILOT and post it here. In any event that was pretty good salary 40yr ago!!
