Every regional is a cheap sellout, spare me the grief! You should go cry to your mommma.
Some are cheaper than the others. I'd rather get paid a wage commensurate with the aircraft I'm flying so I can afford to live. I'd rather not participate in the race to the bottom...sooner or later you realize it was a bad idea.
You lecture and wane about leading contracts but you miss the big picture. The jet is meant for the mainline company. It doesn't belong at a commuter/regional, unless that regional flies on it's own behalf.
I dont lecture or wane? about leading contracts. I just want people to stand up for what they deserve. F/O's flying mainline jets deserve more than topping out at 37k a year. Mesa's pilots deserve a hotel instead of a board in the back of the airplane. Everyone deserves cx pay and block or better.
Foregoing any of that because it will get you to a mainline job quicker is selling out the industry, in my opinion.
I agree with your RJ comment.I understand what you're saying, but I'm looking at it from a different angle. Everyone that knows me or has seen my posts, knows I have a hard on for turboprops. That's what should be flying feed for the mainline partners. We wouldn't even be having this discussion if it wasn't for RJ's. There would be more mainline jobs and the commuters/regionals would be a stepping stone for sure. I agree our F/O pay is not as good as it should be, but we are negotiating at this time and the last time our contract was written there were distractions with the merging of seniority lists and assimilation of pilots from Shuttle America. There were a lot of political things influencing the ability to have the upper hand. This time it's the economic downturn, however I am confident we will come out with better pay and work rules.
How about it sitting in a bank idle they use it to pay there pilots a better wage.
Bring that $119 down to a 12 year scale and I'll be impressed. Also, if you don't get cost of living adjustments, that $119 is just a carrot. If you're a 5th year captain that $119 will only be worth $85 in 2024.
