The deal is done: Continental and United airlines have agreed to merge.

Maybe not SkyWest.. CO loves them, and United owes them money with alot of strings atatched.....

So much so that they replaced them at IAH with Colgan to fly turboprops. Oh yeah, and as far as I remember the CAL strong-arm was used to get XJT to lower cost. If you remember, CAL told XJT that they sellout to SkyWest or slowly lose the flying over the rest of the old CPA. In the end, XJT did not sellout AND got a new CPA. That was all under the former CEO. Basically, Skywest was used by CAL to lower cost at XJT, it worked, but SkyWest was a pawn.

As a mainline FO, would you accept $21K per year to make the ERJ you are flying economically viable? Doubt it.

When you first started, would you have rather had the choice to fly that 50 seater for 21k/year at mainline, or would you have rather flown it for the regional your at now?

Heard a United Airbus crew say they saw a proposed pay scale for 90-120 seat flying at the new United....Capt pay topped out at 97 bucks/hr.


Good luck everyone.

Sorry, I call bullsh!t on that one. There has been no such proposal made by either side on 90-120 seat flying. Continental already has a scale for airraft in that size anyway. It is SNB on the pay scale and the rates can be found on AirlinePilotCentral. I can see a 70-85 seat rate coming close to this at maybe year 5 CA but nothing 90 plus seats topping out that low. Heck, our smallest equipment rates for FO pay in our concessionary contract we are currently working under tops out well over 97 an hour on aircraft that seat less than 120 today. I don't think what they were looking at was anything put out by anyone involved in the upcoming negotiations.

At the OLD UAL yes a payscale was proposed after the grounding of 100 guppies but the company had not responded. And NO WAY it was topping out at $97 bux an hour !!

Even if it was - it would be a waste of time because it would be voted down in a landslide.

CAL pilots here on the forum.......there is always someone trying to stir ********************e up for their amusement. Let's let the process work and hell in the end when JCBA TA comes out and we don't like it? Send it back until it is what we DESERVE.

We will unify despite some of the a$$clowns we have on here saying otherwise........
