I don't mind taking the year seat lock.

If they really feel like they can't staff it they'll just lift the seat lock anyway though.

I know this opinion is unpopular but the E175 is the same class and size aircraft as the CRJ-900 which means the pay will be very close is not the same. E175 pilots will gross more but not due to a higher rate. They will make more since all their soft time will be paid at the E175 rate instead of the base CRJ rate, that’s an 8% pay increase on all soft time!

We need to get rid of the BHO (Brad Holt Override) in this next pay package!
