Remember the big picture. If you're a good pilot and a good employee almost all will be hired by the majors and in 10 - 12 years you'll be a captain with at least 15 days off a month and want remember these discussions. Supply and demand will rule the market place and benefits and pay will ultimately go up..watch for the next few regional contracts that are settled.
