Hey bro, it's $70/hr. And bro, I'm not at a legacy, I'm at a LCC. Compared to 2nd year FOs at other LCCs, Spirit/Allegiant/Frontier/JetBlue, I'm right in the middle in terms of pay. But thanks for your concern. Whereas you are not at a legacy or a LCC, you're at a regional. Within the regional level, where their well being is specifically defined by maintaining cost competitiveness with other regionals, you just shot everyone in the foot at other DCI carriers. My pay raise doesn't affect Delta pilots because their flying doesn't depend on my airline. Tomorrow, their management won't cut their A320 flying and give it to us because we are cheaper. But that's exactly what happens at the regional level, and exactly what you've done now that you voted in 4th/12 year caps and paycuts.
And for the record, $49/hr first year pay is the highest of any LCC today (right up there with JetBlue). But please don't let facts get in the way of a good bashing.
No, I just find it ironic that a bottom feeder is calling out another bottom feeder.
It's obvious your attitude is certain LCCs are bottom feeders. Look in a mirror and realize you're at a bottom feeding regional that voluntarily took a paycut to save your job.
