These are current salary rates after the cuts from the bankruptcies and I don't have to explain that the salary rates back in 1978-79 compared to now (adjusted for inflation) where 40% higher, right? But for the sake of argument I'll play along with your theory, the pay rates at SWA where about 30% lower that what the average was back in those days (not 40%) and we already know that the average salaries where A LOT higher than they are now.
Your logic is flawed and I'm sorry to say that in my view,
this is no excuse to redefine the bottom. You didn't accept 30% lower than the average stated above, you accepted what is paid at MESA to fly CRJ's
$123- $39 =$84 THIS IS STILL $20 DOLLARS AN HOUR MORE THAN WHAT YOU ACCEPTED
Shameful is what that is, I'm done with this thread.
