I guess a raise for the AMF pilots is a step in the wrong direction.

Would you rather have that extra coin or not?

For sure having it is better than not. Now that they have a 1.80 pay raise we can say an AMF PIC can finally makes the money a Regional FO makes at the first year.
Now, if you go on line and look for Skywest you'll see that the pay scale goes from 22$/hr the first year to 37$/hr, which is an increase of 70%. Yes, that makes the difference!
As far as what is better to fly between AMF planes or Regional, that another thing, we are talking about money here.
By the way I've enjoyed both!

Of course it's better than nothing, it's 1.80 more than that.

If you could be upset at that number - think how much the rest of the world ought to be upset with what USED to be considered a 3% yearly raise (after taxes that is)
actually the post was made by "whatsright" a Sa227 pilot.
A type rated pilot.
I hope he doesn't make 28,000/yr!
Of course it's better than nothing but when a pay raise comes too late and not enough it may seems an offense more than a raise.
This forum has more and more AMF people that complain about the pay, there's got to be something true!
10,000 regional pilot voted down a new contract, few months ago. Among other things there were a pay raise of mighty 4$/hr (more than twice the raise at AMF).
Guess what, it was voted down by 10,000 huh pilots.

If "whatsright" got $1.80 per unit raise, that makes him a second year metro pilot. And other than a first year metro pilot, that about 10% pay raise is the lowest percentage increase of any aircraft or seniority level in the company.
BTW, what percentage was that $4/hr that was turned down? Your regional airlines pay isn't based on 160 hours per month. The pay structure at Ameriflight is different than airlines where pay is based on flight hours. So you can't really compare a $1.80/unit raise at AMF to a $4/hr raise at a regional airline.

BTW, I have heard of at least one pilot who had given his notice to leave for a regional that has asked to retract that notice since this pay raise was announced. Doesn't sound like the terrible thing you seem to think this is.
