I was wondering if anyone could tell me F.O. and Capt. pay there
and do you pay your own medical ? Thanks

Pay Scales are posted numerous places, but can be found at www.ibt747.org under the Chautauqua link.


Medicals can be expenced at the rate of $70 ea. one per year for FO's and 2/year CA's.

Sorry i meant do you pay your own medical benffits

 

[lazy8s]

Yeah, it's about $35/mo or something. We have Blue cross, they do a pretty good job. Most everything is covered. For first year FO's it's a ripoff to have your family on it (like $250/mo) but after the first year it goes down to the normal price. (some big HMO money-making scam I guess)

lazy8s,

$250/mo for an entire family is a pretty cheap medical plan.

thats nice you guys can expense a medical. do they give you guys a medical flex account (pre-tax funded)?

 

[C210drvr]

Yea, but after 1 year its $35.00 a month for the entire family. Heck after a couple of years you could pay that entirely off of the Christmas bonus CHQ gives you!

 

[CitationLover]

$35/mo for the whole family? that must be a cheap medical plan. what are the copays/coinsurance/plan provisions for the hmo?

if it isn't....you guys got a great deal....congrats.

Unbelievable!

I simply cannot believe you guys allowed yourselves to get paid so much less than Comair. And only one rate for the FO in any aircraft??? Upgrades will not continue indefinately! You sold out your First Officers!

A 50 seat Comair FO will make between 6 and 10 thousand dollars more a year and the 70 seat FO will make between 6 and 15 thousand more dollars! Guys, that's $500-$800 more per month!!!! That's a car payment, house payment, retirement, perhaps kid's college. What the hell were you thinking?

You guys are truly spineless. You should have gotten more but you certainly deserve what little you got!

Couldn't see that one coming.

You sir, are a FOOL!

 

[I.P. Freley]

Unbelievable! How dare you guys accept that pay!

If you didn't get hired by Comair, you should quit flying entirely! Well, maybe if you get hired at XJet, because they are going to raise the bar, then THAT would be acceptable.

So I should have said, if you don't get hired by Comair or XJet, THEN you should quit flying entirely! You whores! You....

Nice!

 

[SkylerS]

You sir, are a FOOL!

Oh please do tell me why I'm a "fool." Because I'm pointing out the significant disparity between pay?

I must admit however, there are several items in your contract that are rather nice, but the low hourly rate doesn't make up for these small differences.

So again, please, constructively, tell me how I'm a "fool."

 

[AirBill]

SkylerS,

Quick question: Judging by the fact that you're a second-year FO, that would mean that you weren't actually there when your boys went on strike, right?

It's a lot easier to talk the talk when you haven't had to walk the walk, right?

 

[SkylerS]

Wrongo! I was here. And it was a pleasure doing my part to raise the bar. All I hoped for was an effort on your part (and the others) and there was none to be found.

Oh well, like I said, you guys deserve what little you got. Here's to hoping you enjoy your 30 gold coins (think it was gold coins).

Yea, these people agreed to slave wages so they could get the Aircraft we said no to by refusing to take concessions.

Talk about low.

 

[SkylerS]

Correction....

30 pieces of silver.

Can I be the first to say....

"BLAH BLAH BLAH"??

How on earth, by the way, is the "2yr FO" someone who was there during the "walk the walk" phase?

Did Comair strike in 2002 and I just plain missed it?

Uhhh.....

I never said I've been here for only 2 years; it's been longer than that.

You didn't miss the strike, you missed the opportunity to raise the bar. And before you start with the economy and 9/11 pathetic excuses, just remember we said NO to "concessions for growth" despite knowing the consequences. You ought to try it sometime, standing up to management. It's a great feeling, allows you to live longer, and even grows hair (though your coat seems rather clean and shiny).

Look, I pointed out a fact on the disparity in pay. At least I looked at your contract before opening my mouth.

YOU are a fool because you simply don't get it. You have not proven a darn thing since 2001. Next time your contract comes up, prove me wrong and get the biggest pay raise of any regional. You might have read our current contract, but did you read the garbage we had a few years ago? Quote me some pay rates from that one won't ya. How bout some work rules? We'll see how well you step up to the plate when you don't have a perfect economy and an airline that is in great financial shape. Please prove me wrong. But let me tell you, there is no one pulling for COEX and Comair harder than me. I hope you get everything you want and more. Just get OFF this stupid crap about CHQ. We had many people work their asses off to get what we got. If YOU don't like it, don't work here. And don't give that crap about making it harder for you to negotiate. Go on strike and stick it to management. It obviously makes you feel better.
