Pre-9/11 Pay

[tomgoodman]

Management's target

Back in the day, conventional wisdom at the majors was that if management were free to set pilot wages, they would impose about a 50% cut. They wouldn't try for more than that, or they wouldn't be able to get quality pilots.
Some think this has now come to pass, or will shortly. Others fear that the downside limit is much lower.

While pilots salaries have taken a big hit, Executive pay and bonus' have gone through the roof.

FedEx isn´t even close to pre911 DAL and UAl. End of contract pay rates at DAL and UAL for top widebody captians was in excess of $340-hour!!! Add to that unreal work rules and you have a great career. I heard AMR management had offered the DAL contract but the pilots were holding out for more. Then 9-11 hit. None of this working 99 hours a month Bs to make a decent living. oh well.....
