Thank you.
Now......Gear Up!
What are you talking about my little biaaaaattchhh? Nicolau says "gear up!", ha ha.
You guys have to remember that Southwest pilots are paid the most because every other airline pilots have taken paycuts and concessions. If Delta and United pilots where paid what they were paid 5 years ago there wouldnt be that much hype on their pay.

if, if, if....and we all saw how long those contracts lasted.
Yeah. You go boy. You rock.
Those contracts did not last because of a ridiculous amount of start-up airlines paying their pilots peanuts while they undercut the legacies. Companies like JetBlue, Virgin America, SkyBus, Airtran, etc. The list goes on and on. We should have a national union with minimum pay rates for specific airplanes to prevent undercutting on the labor front. I think it is a disgrace that so many pilots are willing to fly 76 passenger jets for less than $30,000/year as a first officer and less than $60,000/year as a captain. We're our own worst enemies because we think we have the best job in the world.
I would partially agree. The USAir, Piedmont, and PSA pilots hired in the 1980's can hardly have forseen the train wreck on the horizon.
