We are all pleasant to each other at work since we are all in the same boat. As for big increases, it would be nice and you should always vote FOR it. Never shrug should and say my small paycheck is enough since I get to fly the shinny jet.

I agree with g-code as well. I'm a 2nd, almost 3rd year, FO on the CRJ and im very happy I came to ASA/Xjet. I'm on reserve, but I also live in base. I can also control my days off pretty well so my QOL isn't too shabby. With all the hiring on the ERJ side I would highly recommend that side for fast relative senority especially if you are planning on commuting.
Feel free to PM me about any other questions! I don't bite!
Almost 3 years hasn't seen the grunt of it. A TA means nothing when the pilot group votes it down. Don't understand? You'll see soon enough. We will not have new contract in 2012.
From the recall meeting, "Express side will not like it at first... but once explained they will." HA, that alone is a joke, just like they like PBS. Yea, we've explained that one many times.
I stand by my first statement, go to Skywest Airlines. The new XJT is the the red headed step child to them anyways.
