My buddies who are protected on the 900, and are senior, can get CA at a more junior number than I can, waiting for a 200 slot, since that's all I can get.
Was Compass designed with moving on in mind? Tha could explain the short upgrade. For a year, you could retire very richly here at Endeavor. Only when our pay got slashed in the fire sale did the top start gradually moving. Not all of them have finished their AirlineApps DAL app yet either.
The problem with regional lifers is they kill their companies with their extremely top heavy pay. Furloughing / losing planes doesn't help... It only gets rid of the guy making $25-$39 per hour...
I guess it doesn't really matter any more though, Endeavor's fate is sealed.
What happened to all this talk of CAs having more skin in the game? Seems like the fact that CAs are sitting right seat making $39 an hour wasn't lost on you...
Either you really are management or you bought into their BS hook, line, and sinker. Regional "lifers" aren't killing their companies with "extremely top heavy pay". The only truly "extremely top heavy pay" at the regionals is the management group. I would agree that pay needs to come up across the board for all regional pilots, and the best possible way to accomplish that would be to vote down any concessions, and for new hires to stop showing up at the lowest paid and worst regionals(a good starting point would be those owned by JO and Hulas).
