ERJFO said:Axel, your right - I am young and I have a Commercial. I wouldn't say however that I have a complete lack of understanding of what is happing around me. I know that my job is on the chopping block and the reason it is on the chopping block is because someone out there will do it for less.
I turned down jobs at 2 places before I came to my current airline as I wasn't willing to do this for any less pay and any less of a contract than I do now. I don't feel that this gives me a right to judge other but I think that pretty much everyone should agree to work for no less than an acceptable compensation and work rules package... This isn't happening, so I'm frustrated, my job is on the line and I don't want to start over agian building seniority somewhere else. Sorry if I ruffled any feathers.
I'm not a BRAND NEW F/O, and I don't know what makes you think that - because I've only been on the board for a few months??? I've been working where I'm at for over a year and I'm not saying that makes me know everything or anything at all and I don't try to preach to CFIs (I have helped a few of the get jobs) but it pains me to watch them say "I'll go to MESA for the upgrade time" or "I don't care what I make if I fly a jet." As I stated above I abstained from this before I was hired and hope most people would as well. I'm not saying that people working for some "quick upgrade" outfits are bad - it's just hurts everyone thats wokring for a good contract and good pay when CPA time comes around.
I've actually never flown a 152, and when I was hired over a year ago I had the same qualifications that guys who were getting hired by CHQ had. I just never sent anything to them because I wanted to work for a better contract and I didn't like the bases. I didn't really care if I flew a 170 or not. I'm sure now I could go there and fly whatever it is newhires are getting into and I guess I might if I loose my job. Then I could upgrade in two years and be as cool as you.
Thanks, I obviously didn't know that... Appreciate the heads up.
