You're such a nerd Data.
No one is saying anything about the ERJ. I'm simply trying to get your delusional ass back down to reality. The 700 has better stage lengths, free meals, better overnights and better credit...All for an extra 3 or 4 grand a year. That's great! But to make the argument that you have it harder because you have to put a couple pieces of paper into your little book while at cruise is cosmically absurd. At least try to convince me you deserve more pay because you carry more passengers. I might believe that one.
Delusional? This is comical. I never said I have it harder (you, by the way, have whined about that). You aren't listening. What I have said over and over is that if the company wants me to be responsible for flying the 50, the 700 and the 900 then I should be paid a higher wage.
Question, could you go down to Flight Safety right now and go thru EQP on the 700, right now, today?
With your ticket on the line, including the oral and pathetic written test (limitations and emergency procedures)? Perhaps you could, but again,
with your ticket on the line? Would I go do that on the 50? No way, not with my ticket on the line. Could I do it? Most likely yes. But to be responsible for the knowledge, however minor it might be, is what we're, or at least I'm, discussing. Our whole livelyhood is based on being able to get thru a checkride to continue to do what we do day in and day out, even though it's once a year. There's a difference between being cool, like you, and being able to fly any airplane I get in, and practical like me, to be legally liable for the operation in day to day flying with half to three-quarters of a billion dollars for each flight in insurance. That's the responsiblity and 'work' I'm talking about.
We're on the same team, but to give away our pay based on seats because you don't think it's more work is really what's delusional. Carry on.
