Well lets see, just talked to a UAL pilot and he mentioned that after 32 years with UAL and at age 58, his yearly salary was US$355,000, he flies a B747-400. He mentioned that he was thinking of an "early out" and was worried that the retirement would not be enough...hmmm, must have expensive toys. I wonder if he "really" thinks he is actually worth 355k/yr? No wonder UAL is on the brink of bankruptcy.
