I made ~ $72/hr IIRC. Credit /= hourly x 1,000.

Heck even this year, which I commuted for the entire thing, my W2 showed $93k (not including per diem) and I was at $77 then $79/hr IIRC. Not a single open time trip on that, just straight flying the line awarded (and they were bid for computability not pay).

...We could start with the elimination of "golden parachutes" and huge exucitive bonuses. When they give management 2-3 million dollar bonuses, then ask for 1-2 million dollars in concessions.....

No argument from me, or probably from most of the great people on this site. This problem certainly isn't limited to airlines - it's true in nearly all facets of most industries. Capitalism raised to its ultimate failure point.

But don't count on the Republicans to pass legislation to curb these excesses.
