If CHQ starts flying 190's for 50 seat pay .

All CHQ pilots will join the ranks of snakes ( just like the GJ pilots) scabs and snakes are not allowed on my plane.

you have been warned

We have a 190 payscale. Maybe you ought to get the CPT on your trip to approve this before you run your mouth.

PS ALPA F_cked us all by allowing this BS at the regional level.
 
That is a little low don't you think?
 
Hey Freemind. If I knew who you were, I'd take a baseball bat to your nuts so you couldn't reproduce.

And undoubtedly GJ will have a higher payscale than Chautauqua.

Undoubtedly, because we've seen no numbers other than the ones 2% higher than current TSA 50 seat rates. How much are we talking here? I'm glad you have so much faith in your 'union' to negotiate while you spit so much venom toward ALPA. You should know by now HK just isn't going to give you a nice contract, especially since you have less negotiating power than ALPA. You could have a 70 seat rate higher than Horizon and that STILL wouldn't matter.

So whats your story FF? Are you an eagle puke or a disgruntled Windy City guy? Why are you knowingly participating in the whipsaw of your professional colleagues at Trans States, especially when there are other (better) jobs available?

You are one pipey SOB!!! One day when mommy stops paying your bills, I can only hope you will get a clue.

Do you even have any idea what the Eagle guys are going though, or the Chicago Exps guys have gone through?

You can take your CFI and <1500hrs and shove it up your arss!!!

For the record....Those CHQ 170-190 rates are a total BS. CHQ is doing more to hurt the industry than GJ ever did!
 
The 190 Captain rates are the same at Jet Blue and CHQ. Reference airlinepilotcentral if you don't believe this. Either that's pretty good for a regional this day and age or pretty sad for Jet Blue. As far as FO rates go, wait till the next contract which is ammendable in the near future.

And while I'm neither defending nor trashing JB's pay scale, one can't compare CHQ's compensation section to JB's since JB gets 150% for everything over 70 hours as well as a much more robust profit sharing provision.

Especially frightening threat coming from a Commercial/CFI-I ... I'm sure he knows everything about the industry through years of experience. :rolleyes:

He probably brings home about $100/mo. more than a CHQ F.O. and by that deduces that he is a pillar of our profession. Definately a "tool of the month" candidate.

Hey...while I don't disagree that mainline pilot groups are to blame for the fact that there are thousands of RJ's running around at non-mainline carriers, make sure you throw your vitriol in all of the right places...don't forget to leave out the IACP (Continental back in 1997/1998) as well as the APA (American) since they aren't ALPA and they contributed to the fact that we have rampant RJ's being flown at today's wages. ALPA (and its individual MEC's since that is who truly makes the decisions on these issues) isn't solely to blame here.

This Freemind guy is probably dumb enough to be a democrat too.
The fact that you would even put CHQ and GO in the same sentence shows a COMPLETE sense of ignorance. Whatever makes you feel better. Keep putting your app in Freemind, you never know.;)

If you could see the discussions on our Union site or hear exchanges between us in the cockpit, you'd see we are in no big hurry for operating 190's for the current scale.(which, by the way was negotiated when FAR bigger things were at stake, and 190's were just a thought)

Personally, I'd like to see that 190 scale become the next 170 scale and then we can work from there if we're going to add today's version of a mainline F-28.

By the way you jagoff, who do you think is swimming circles below us waiting for a 190 contract to come falling down? Starts with 'M' and ends with 'A' How's their 90 seat scale that they have BEEN operating on for years now???

Last I checked about our 190 rates you are wrong. Not only about the hourly rate but anything over 70 hours is paid at 150%.



:confused:
 
While many of you may not like our E170/190 rates, the 170 is a cool jet to fly and I'm sure the 190 will be just as cool or cooler to fly. While I'd love to make more money, the fact is that I'm content for the time being with our current rates as it's the most money I've ever made in my entire life.

Why don't you quit your union and take a paycut you freaking fool, you think GwB and his lackeys are pro labor? Wake up and smell the dog poo on your shoe, the Dems may not be perfect but its the Republican party that has done all the slash and burn on your profession. Classic example of the stupidity of the "Party policy" follower mentality. You are a looser who can't even think for yourself, wadda tool.
