I love how the Pilots add like a two year old. They state they have taken two cuts 32% and 14%. My math sees they have taken one cut at 14%.
Five years when United tried to buy USAIR they gave their pilots a monster raise to get the deal through. Delta Money Hungary Pilots said we demand a 50% raise and got it. So if you made $200K you now made $300K. Five years later during tough times they gave back 32%. Bingo they are back to $204K now they are $175K with the drop. My point is they got a huge five year gift so take that into account and they should still be swimming in Cash.
