Legacy vs LCC

I often wonder what the difference is between the American and Vanguard anti competitive pricing on the DFW-MCI route of the 90's and and $25 introductory fares today. I guess they feel it's ok for the big guy to suffer but not the little guy.

One thing is for sure in this business, someone can always do it cheaper. No airline is immune from the slide of this industry, and even the best carriers are soon to feel the hit. I might be wrong, by in my opinion, SWA will be taking pay cuts by 2008. It is inevitable in this industry, thats what this industry is, and anybody who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.

pay comparisons

It isn't fair to compare pay between CAL and JetBlue. It is nice that JB pilots, with their overtime scheme, can bring in some big pay if they want to fly 90 hours a month. Some people would rather fly 40 hours with a 70 hour guarantee each month.

Not everybody wants to fly 90 hours a month

The good thing is that there is something for everyone out there.
