Did you not look at your company's pay scale prior to accepting employment? Don't you think you with your vast experience should be paid more than a new hire?
And FOs don't sign for the aircraft. They sign that they, their minds and bodies, are airworthy. That's completely different.

Give me a break, sure experience should be paid more but not several times the starting guy while he is on food stamps, how about a bit of balance and less greed? how about a bit solidarity with the guys at the bottom? How much is enough for you while the guy at the bottom is on food stamps?
Sure I saw the pay scales at the regionals before getting on but that does not mean I think they are right or that I think they can't be changed.
By the way, I think the FOs sign not only for the airworthy body and mind like you call it but also the weight and balance and the can, they also check the can is up to date.....
