Joey,
By ASA, you mean Atlantic Southeast Airlines...reason I ask is cause you say we make as much as a mainline pilot now.....LOL...on what planet??!!!
Here are the max captain rates for several airlines. These are all based on guarantee - no credits and no picking up time.
AMR MD80: 118,272 per year
AMR 737-800: 121,344 per year
UAL 737/A320: 100,620 per year
DAL 737-200: 121,680 per year
DAL MD80: 124,800 per year
CMR CRJ700: 101,700 per year
HZN CRJ700: 103,500 per year
So a senior CMR or HZN captain makes more based on guarantee than a senior United 737/A320 captain. If we break it down based on seating, the CMR and HZN pilot make more.
You might say, what about the A funds? Gone.
You might say, what about the trip and duty rigs? At United and USair they are gone.
So to answer your question, this is on EARTH. Where have you been?

about us flying there aircraft...by what I was told by some of our top MEC members, you are just flat out wrong on this...and lets not forget that as a result of this concession, they are getting 10 of our planes...and whose to say we wouldn't have gotten the GCAS and kept the planes we have.
No, the "top" MEC members are not telling the truth because they are embarrassed that they fell for DW's "brand scope" BS. The ASA and CMR MECs have both become way too political and cozy with ALPA national for my liking. I don't trust either one.
