You're still making more as an FO at CA then you would be as a Captain at any regional.

Umm...I'm not so sure about that. While FO pay at CA is decent, I still took a pay cut to go there from a regional Capt position.

So only the FO's are bitching? When I was an FO, I was making 35K at CA. You're still making more as an FO at CA then you would be as a Captain at any regional. If you don't like what you're making flying an airplane and working only half of the year, go find a job stocking shelves at your local grocery store. You people like to cry too much, Kid.

Hey humpy dumpy, I have a lot of friends at CA. I think what we have here is you upgraded in less than 14 months and have a problem with seniority complacency. It is easy for you to say what you say about the bitching. As you sit in the FBO drinking hot coffee in teb while your FO is out there humping it. You need to walk a mile in a 4 + year FO shoes. Oh buy they way no one cares about you working at CA. It's in the past buddy let it go. It's time for you to start walking in you FO's shoes. Be a true leader not some sideline QB that only did the FO job at crappier wages for less than a year.

You tell him Tex Humpy just doesnt get it thru his thick head

His posts are like CA's bad news emails, wrong delivery. When someone posts a response as if they are talking like a 1940's movie character, who can take them seriously? Humphrey is in for a shock when the FO's flee CA like mice from the wrong Pied Piper song and he wishes he had regional captains sitting in his right seat.

Dammmmmmmmmmmmmm! Oooooooooooooooo! Playa!

Texman, O's and M's like the eyes of the snake in The Jungle Book!

Little does one forget how that company has grown. A "senior captain" has been there for 7 years, the most 10. Senior FO's have been there for 6 years, most for 4 to 5. Look at the pay difference. The years are short and the pay difference is long. Look at the thread where a pilot asked about holiday pay. Do you feel "one shouldn't be crying about having a job" when the competitor still pays our OT rates just for working a holiday? And please don't reference your response with the word "kid".

Cuts pay two yrs in a row!! Merry Xmas!!! Keep up the good work guys...My preflights are going to get real good

That'll show em... endanger yourself, the captain, and the passengers. By the way, it's "really" good.

Most pilots I talk to, think things in the office have really gone down hill over the last few years.

He isn't saying he is going to half-ass his preflights. He is being serious- he will find every last required placard and paint chip and whatever else he can find that can delay or stop a flight. He will be doing his walk around with a magnifying glass looking for ANYTHING that is not 100 percent up to FAA standards. Now if everyone there does this, there will be incredible pressure on management to do the right thing since the costs to recover will go through the roof. The problem is there probably aren't enough pilots there yet who are fed up enough to put the pressure on and force management to do the right thing for the pilots. Good luck.

Problem at CA is that "he" HAS TO REPORT THESE TO THE "CAPT" AND THE CAPT THEN WILL DECIDE IF A WRIT-UP IS DONE.....THESE SAME CAPT THAT DID NOT GET THE PAY CUT....DAMN SORRY "REDUCTION IN RAISE" so how far will it go? Probably not past his ears since the other shoe is ready to kick up the capt's butt for being seen by the home office as one of "those problem caps that writes everything up" Nope not many of those guys here any longer....hence why the ones left wont do it!

Good thought though!

Holy shiit. Please Unionize before someone in NJA management compares us to your pay scale.

Well said flylow.

Some would rather live on their knees, rather than risk dying on their feet.

That is funny to me. What an idealist youy are. Live on your knees and have a happy day. All the best. P.S. are you a relative of Paul Revere?
