By joining XJT you guaranteed yourself industry leading stagnation on FO pay. Your colleagues at Compass, PSA, and Mesa will be quickly advancing up the FO list, having better control of their schedule, and then will upgrade years earlier.
People in my class held a line within 2 months of IOE. I have nearly 400 pilots below me on the seniority list after 8 months. Stagnation? Sure. It's sad you have to jump around all of these threads defending PSA and their actions. We have great attrition to the majors. Better than any other regional with "flow through" or "preferential interviews". I'm glad I'm here and am going to go ahead and enjoy my 19 days off this month.
