...settlement ended the worst series of labor dogfights in U.S. airline history. American contracted to put a third junior pilot in jet cockpits, pay him at least $650 a month. The pilots also won pay boosts from a top of $19,220 a year to $22,596 for flying piston-engine DC-78.

That means a senior DC-7 pilot will pocket a lump of about...

ALPA asked a scale up to $27,500 for the same senior pilots...
