The looming recession will probably last through 2009. The recession that started in late 1980 lasted until the end of 1982. It was the worst recession since The Great Depression. By 1983 unemployment was down to 3% and corporate earnings were up almost 30%. This recession will pass like all others and by 2010 we will see a new and impoved economy. With a labor friendly administration, an improving economy, and lower energy prices in 2010, I think we have a chance to get some back. A legacy FO should make 150K and a Captain should make 225K. Also, the new DB plans should be getting 20% from the company so we can retire and not be forced to work at Wal-Mart. I'd be happy with that.
