I get what you're saying. Things will eventually start moving again. We also have the option to bid down to lower categories (you could've bid DC-9 FO in ATL) and fly more hours for more money.
I'm not saying it's perfect, just that we're not that far off from where everybody wants to be.
How many years of longevity does it take for the SWA guy to get to the $140k mark?
I'm fine with that
This TA is a step in the right direction... kind of. Unfortunately, the new reserve rules will only serve to keep me from progressing for a while longer. The TA provides for continued exercise of capacity restraint and we kissed away another 300 mainline jobs with the new rules. Same with moving the line on jumbo RJs to allow more once again.
My peers at WN are at about 140k by 5 years, unfortunately. I had my best year at DL last year and was at 115k. I'm on pace for not making that this year (year 6).
