This is lost on someone like you. Tell me, though, before you moved on to your major, I see you have listed "CRJ" in your profile. What regional did you fly for? Please do tell, and I'll anaylze their history and tell you how YOUR regional performed and 'helped' or undercut the industry.Those new pay rates in your TA aren't pay raises. They're not going to help anyone, not even the pilots collecting those.
All they did was put your pay just above qualifying for food stamps, but in 5 years, you will qualify for food stamps again. So I guess that's a positive.
