I did however have a student of mine call me one day to announce he had
just gotten a left seat ride for United. He told me what the salary was
and I can tell you for sure it was a whole lot better than 22K a year.
But like a lot of other big money boys, he also is "retired now".


I hope they didn't plunder his pension like they did my dad's. He worked
for UAL for 24 years...was UAL-PDX employee of the year something like three
times...before they "furloughed" him forever.

('Course, my dad was making more than 22K a year in 1980 making sure Grannie
Pax got her special diabetic in-flight meal.)

He got something out of it but we don't discuss it much, especially when
his wife's around. She definitely didn't like the deal :-)
