Like someone pointed out earlier, we got absolutely raped in the 2000's after 9-11 and bankruptcy. I went from 767 captain to 744 captain in 2004 and was making $187K if you can believe that. We've been making up for lost time for about the last 6-7 years but man! It was ugly in the 2000's.
Can this level of pay and benefits continue? UAL does around $40 billion in sales and nets close to 10% so they're making money hand over fist right now but will it continue? Who knows? Going by past experience, every time it gets this good, the bottom falls out and it all goes to sh!t almost over night so we'll see.
