Did you actually read my entire first post in this thread or just skim it?
I was merely commenting on
HOW most of us are actually paid - not
WHAT any of us are paid. So, there were no comparisons made between WB Captain pay at a major and regional pilot pay as you seem to be claiming.
I think if you read the posts I made here this afternoon, you'll see that I basically agree with just about everything you just posted (except the mischaracterization of my original post).
In my experience, many people here lack high school reading comprehension skills. I'm more surprised someone didn't accuse you of being a "yes" voter or management. That seems to be the inerudite response to challenging the group-think present here.
I do agree with you. There are a few regionals with generous soft time built into their contracts. I think it would be advantageous to look into raising our wages that way first as a means of encouraging scheduling to use us as efficiently as possible.
