It seems as though all the young FO's ask, "why is the old geezer still flying MY regional jet?" It's like they think all you have to do is apply to a major/cargo and you're hired. In the meantime you might not have any movement at your regional and you are stuck at $42 until you can upgrade because you maxed out at 4 years. Do you really believe that's all a pilot who is responsible for all those lives is worth??? Just because it's a regional doesn't make those lives any less significant, you still have to be able to fly a jet. Your pay stagnates and yet inflation just keeps on truckin'. If something happens to the captain (United pilot has a heart attack) and suddenly YOU become the only person who can bring that plane down safely and you want to know why we're upset about caps on already low pay??? And I believe the B scale pay for new hires IS a pay cut, course I could be wrong but don't think I am.

Are you seriously asking this? You obviously are not a professional pilot or your daddy is paying all your bills.
