Don't know where you get your salary figures, but most pilots in their first several years over at NWA gross much less than $100,000. I've seen their hourly pay scales, and this was before the pay cuts. Of course, the several hundred who are still laid off are paid nothing by NWA, which lowers the average pay much more...
Which media/internet group are you with?
The highest-paid US airline pilots, fleet by fleet, work for Southwest Airlines, and it has been heavily-unionized for years. The informed US press, as usual, seems to be quite ignorant of this ironic, key fact, regarding the low-cost airline leader.
