Minor query.
The pilot pay website shows the NWA pay to be a little more than $93; $113 was the lowest Capt. I found . (DC-9 year 1)
Looks like he was a 12 year A320 FO when he retired. I don't think there are any year one captains on any plane at NW these days, you do not lose longevity when you upgrade in ALPA contracts. Don't think he would be a fifth year A330 or DC-10 FO with an Eastern uniform hanging in the closet.
