I know. It's amazing how quickly people forget that. Look at AAs current A319 rates, they are worse than some LCCs. Isn't that working for subpar wages? It's bankruptcy. United served under a contract where A320 pilots were topped at CA 137/hr and FO 95/hr on the 12th year scale. This went on for nearly a decade. So subpar wages needs to be taken in context. LCC wages, especially a 50 plane operation, should be compared to other LCCs. It's unrealistic an a different scope to compare to a 700 airplane legacy. They have different economies of scale, different structure, different everything.

Curious, what wouldn't be subpar wages? Will you say United or Delta A320 wages are not subpar? If thats your argument, I would say their contract circa year 2000 paid more in pay, retirement, QOL than they are today. So in comparison to themselves, it's still subpar compared to what they used to have. And besides, it's very ironic for regional guys to be accusing others of subpar wages.

How would I know? Just because he has a widebody screenname doesn't make him a mainline guy. Besides, most people attack here behind an anonymous screenname. You know me, so when I write, I have nothing to hide. To those who name call others with personal insults, why not put your real name to the post?
