Maybe the senior pilots flying heavies internationally are making the
$285,000
the article was talking about, but what about the vast majority that aren't
making close to that? Their salaries certainly aren't ridiculous(IMO). But
I'm sure the pilots union realizes that a 32.5 percent pay cut is better
than
no pay.

I think they cut non-pilot salaried employees 10% with the CEO taking a 25%
cut. Pilot salaries were the most rediculous so they were cut the most.

Did Delta also end an era of luxurious "management pay" by 32.5 percent?
I tend to think not.....

Probably not, but there are more pilots than managers (one would hope).
It's
the same story. When you look at the bottom line, the total amount of
money
spent on payroll by the rank-and-file is a far juicier cost-cutting
target than
the amount spent on the few highly compensated executives.
