we didn’t;t make less than our subordinates


A friend of mine, for a time, made less than his subordinates because they got overtime and he was on salary. He was not a happy camper. LOL

yeah same here. The overtime was outrageous. But we made more in basic pay and bennies, some management perqs or no one would take a promotional exam.

Fuel isn’t the only cost, but still, your numbers, alone, show fuel at twice the cost.

I think that in 2012 the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association got the bargaining rights for 2700 mechanics. Much easier to lock up mechanics which have their majority in a couple of overhaul base locations.

They had a contract fight last year according to the Dallas paper.

They can’t be trusted not to do damage to planes.

I hope they are not so unscrupulous. I think it would be found out. Officials would be checking who did the maintenance work on a part that failed, and that person would feel some serious heat.

"No one opposed the union contracts because we all benefited and the taxpayers were indifferent powerless, still are to this day."

One of the joys of living in California, where unless you are an illegal alien you are a serf.

Is that because of the depreciation, or just the actual cost of flight and crew?

Everything. Crews cost more. Parts. Service. Fuel. Aircraft cost. Parking. Airport fees. Mods.
