Pilot141,
I also refuse to answer your ridiculous allegations about pilots demanding huge salaries and getting them; welcome to the post-1970s world!
Do some research on teh Intarweb first, and then come to us for comments.
What are your trying to say my good man? Did or did not UAL and DAL get some nice raises in the late 90s and/or early 2000/2001? The summer of discontent as some call it. I think so. That would not make it an allegation, but a fact. Now that those raises are gone, and then some, don't you expect the unions to come back with a vengence as they have every time the market turned around in the past? And why get into a tissy seeing I have not slammed anyone, but simply defended my own firm?

This link might need to be cut and pasted. I got it from my 5 minutes of research on the internet from a Dec 2000 article that showed UAL pilots getting a 30% raise, making them top dog. Sorry if the facts throw a wrench into your arguments. Gotta go fly now.
