The 190 low pay is really a good thing for new hires. Since pay is 40/hr regardless of whichever equipment you start on, who cares if u fly an e190 for a year? Since most all new hires want off the 190 after their 1 year seatlock is up, this creates alot of movement and you will only be on reserve 3-4 months then hold a line and make more $ than other new hires sitting reserve their entire first year on the airbus. Then after the 1 year seat lock is up, u can go to the airbus as a line holder and u never have to fly the 190 again. Or you could bid 190 Capt and make 117/hr your 2nd year.

Yes its sad group 1 pay is really low but there is some silver lining.
