Devalued? ... says a guy who flew a 737 for $2500/month and no insurance at a union airline...
Don't get defensive, I did as well at one of the oldest ALPA carriers though at least I had good health coverage from Day 1. But that's the part that devalues the job because someone who's been there longer gets paid 3-4 times as much for the same job. Now enter bean counters who look at the low end of pay for the same job and the high end and go ***?!?
Seriously... you'll find horror shows everywhere, but Emirates use of seniority system is FAR superior to anything in the US, from pay scales to schedules.
