synchoff said:Uh, if they're going to pay MAINLINE pilots less than current regional rates, what's the point?
Mesa's current top CRJ900 CA payscale beats JetBlue's CA E-190. And the UsAir protocol states that it will be a payscale competitive with JetBlue.

Mesa also has OT, so our a 20yr CA could pull in $150 bucks an hour.
As for a sense of entitlement - - that's EXACTLY the mentality of mainline pilots, and I say F them. Look where it got them.
Regionals are NOT full of "2 year I wanna upgrade in a shinny jet" pilots anymore. They are career airlines, and I'll be danged if I'm going to apologize for fighting for salaries and QOL that come with larger aircrafts. I'm not gonna happily take it up the tailpipe for legacy carriers either, just because their name is on the side of my plane this week.
They want us at the regionals to give it all up for them. For years, our lower wages subsidized their higher wages and fancy comforatable lifestyle's (by providing a heck of a service at a comparatively cheap rate, making majors big $$$ for their pilots to pad their pockets with). Now they're in hock, and they want the regionals to give up planes (for their furloughees to fly), routes, and growth opportunites that they DIDN'T want when times were fat . . . and they're willing to do it at OUR lower wages and QOL.
They're hypocrates, pure and simple. No legacy carrier pilot even PRETENDS to give a dang about regionals . . . and I feel exactly the same about them.
synchoff said:What is a "major"? It used to be defined as airlines who did more than a Billion bucks of business a year . . . .and by that measure, many "regionals" qualify.
