"United They Fall", WSJ, October 21 2002. Apologies the salary table didn't come out well. Bottom line: United pilots make from $129K -- $306K, others such as Northwest pay from $100K -- $220K, Southwest pays from $87K to $152K, and at the bottom American Trans Air pays from $46K to $110K.
Why does the pilot's union at Northwest gain bargaining strength when United decides to pay its pilots more? After all, the Northwest pilots aren't likely to be able to switch over to United.
