Mesa is expanding big time. Lots of people are going to upgrade. I think that's all prior121 is saying. He seems to be using a lot of facts with his arguments.
If you are looking for a quick upgrade, Mesa and Compass seem to be where to go right now.
Yes, lots of guys have gotten screwed and are looking at 7+ year upgrade times.
There have not been few and far between people going to mainline. I'd say 65-75% of my new hire class is at a Mainline Carrier.
Explain exactly "how we should stand up for ourselves and demand respectable wages." I'm all ears if you have a solution to this.
It's fairly simple really supply and demand would dictate higher compensation if people only went to regionals with the best contracts, the other regionals would have to increase their compensation or go out of business.
When was your new hire class? I can say for a certainty your class is an abnormal example unless it was incredibly small and at the very beginning of a regional hiring wave at least 10 years ago.
