Senior F/O's at my company make 150K plus.

The F/O is an essential cog in the safety wheel, he's there to make sure the Capt doesn't screw up.
The F/O does most of the cockpit setup in the 757. The Capt just checks his work.
A good Capt treats his F/O well, as he's a valuable resource that will keep him out of trouble.
I don't know where you come up with this stuff? Things must have been really bad at National.
I try to ignore most of your posts, but sometimes, for the sake of the truth, I just can't.
You do a great job of painting the worst case scenario. That's not a bad thing for the rest of us to see. I just wish you'd quit making stuff up....
All my jobs were for bottom feeders. Believe me I wish I could have gotten one of the better jobs. I am sure that at some of the nicer companies they treat the captain and FO with more respect however when many regionals only pay new FO's just over 18K my point is made for me.
I am not making any of this up. Perhaps it has been too long since you were a FO at a commuter, regional or start up? Things might be better at UPS but I can assure you that for most everyone else it is as I depicted.
