Airline pilots purchasing power
Hi, I am writing an article for our union paper, and would like to highlight the loss of purchasing power our profession has suffered over the decades.
Perhaps somebody can help me out here:
I am trying to locate a list/graph I've seen before (perhaps in an ALPA magazine) that compares the income/purchase power of airline pilots in NA over the decades:
- 1950s - a months pay could buy you a house
- 1960s - a 2 months pay could buy you house
- 1970s - a months pay could buy you a car
and so on
Anyone remember seeing that somewhere?
Thanks for your help.
