This the same half-witted crap that is vomited up any time someone has a legitimate complaint about the industry -- and it's complete and total bs.
Did you read the CBA of the company you interviewed with before you got hired? I'm betting not. No one foresees anything in this industry. No pilot can predict upgrade times or forecast hiring plans years in advance.
Yes, you have a vague idea of what you are getting into when you sign on, but no one knows what's behind the curtain until you're actually on the stage.
So please, do us all a favor. Retire that "you knew what you were getting into" BS immediately.
The Teamsters have made a strong effort to educate prospective RAH pilots as to the current pay and working conditions, especially in comparison to other regionals like Express Jet and Skywest.
Applicants ignore this information because they're enamored with the idea of flying an E170. So when they complain about their take-home pay, there's not a lot of sympathy.
