Midwest fires ground crews; rehires them at Skyway pay

[Ty Webb]

Yes, at $40,000 grand a ramper is OVERPAID. As a shareholder of this airline, I am glad we are outsourcing. It was way over due. .

Not only is your flame bait tiresome, it isn;t even mathematically correct. A $14./hr ramper is not a $40K a year employee. More like about a $28,000. a year employee.

Mybe some day when you grow up, and actually work as a pilot (instead of pretending to be one on an internet message board) some $15,000. a year ramper will marshall you into a baggage cart . . . . and then all three of them will swear that the lead gave you a "Stop" signal wehich you disregarded . . . . . I am sure your FO will be so sick of you he will agree with them, and you'll be out on your rear, trying to make your mortgage, you frigging moron.

Yeah and it's about the same for a non-rev ticket. It'll sure be nice when the ticket prices go up and you're back in the drivers seat of your 74' Bonneville.

When I had NRSA privileges, those tickets were free, and I never paid a dime in taxes. I hear it's just not the same anymore. Sucks that they can up the cost of an NRSA pass for the employees, but not the travelling public, doesn't it? A certain alliance likes my business so much, they stick me in first class whenever there's a seat, regardless of fare paid. I only spent about $1,000 last year for that privilege, too.

Don't hold your breath for ticket prices to go up. It hasn't happened in the last twenty years, what makes you think it will happen now? My '74 Bonneville doesn't have that many miles on it because it's cheaper for me to get chauffered around in the back of the metal tube than it is to put the miles on my Bonneville.
