Get a decent pay scale.

Like JB is the highest paid airline in the country. D-Bag.

I'm feeling a little let down....it took more than a day for the resident d****e bag to come in and take a shot. Was probably busy updating his resume.

No that would be The Victors and 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,,,,

Much better than going backwards at a Regional! What price can be placed on being home every night and not commuting? With this job in these times, I'd assign it an enormous value. Much better than commuting to JF'nK several times a month and riding the Q-10 to the crashpad!!

These people and their high horses...wow!

No worries, we're working on it. It's just a matter of time before our wages are standard for an airilne our size.

That's what we said at JetBlue. We're still waiting.

How are you working on it? Is there a union drive going on?

Why would we need a union drive? Our pilot advisory group (AAPAG) has gotten this pilot group a 40% increase in pay over the last 4 years. There's no reason to think they won't continue to make improvements to our pay and work rules as time goes on.

When we stop seeing improvements, we can talk about a union drive.

Good luck with that plan. Sounds like us circa 2002.

How about you worry about your company and let us worry about ours? Last I checked, you guys weren't doing so hot... Since you think you have all the answers, fix your own sh-t first.

I guess you could always go PFT somewhere else if your current gig doesn't work out... Heck, maybe Gulfstreme will take you back???

So far so good Dude... We have a lot of work to do, but the progress we've made has been better than any union could have done.

If our management keeps an open mind and wants to stay union free, they'll do what needs to be done. I don't think the pilot group will have a problem pulling the trigger on a union if and when the time comes.

A little touchy are we?

I am worried about my pilot group. We're trying to negotiate pay raises while you guys who fly similar equipment are doing it for far less than our 8-year old contract rates. We're trying to get our FOs up to respectable rates, but your FOs top out at a rate that is less than our 3rd year rate. We're trying to bring our Captains up to something close SWA rates, while you top out at barely more than half that. You don't exist in a vacuum. Your rates affect everyone else.
