Pay is the same on all planes first year, however 2nd year the ATR is like $27/hr and the jets pay the same for FOs and pay about $34, so last thing you want is to get stuck if we go into a furlough situation.
If we furlough it won't matter he will be displaced into the most junior equipment or sent to collect Obama pay checks. If he is ERJ Dallas and we shirnk, furlough and take ATRs out of Dallas, Me being senior to him would be displaced into Dallas ERJ (if I could hold it after displacement) and he would be sent to SJU ATR or CRJ New York (you get the idea). He would be displaced into what he could hold, but take a guess what equipment that would be.
