Thank those that severely undercut Comair, in exchange for the quick upgrade 10 years ago..... No matter what you have been told or think, The CHQ MEC introduced your current CBA as a way to upgrade quick. I had a friend(CHQ) calling me from the actual road show, and nearly telling me word for word what they were being sold on...
Of course he upgraded quick, got his time and was the first of our immediate group of friends to end up at a major... So it worked for him and I am happy for him. But the fact still remains you are working for the $$ you are making for one reason and one reason only..... The carrot a decade ago..
Hell, 10 years ago I made $42K as a 3-4 year FO at Comair.. Then again that was 10 years ago. You'd think the pay would be atleast slightly higher 10 years later
