The biggest pill to swallow for the commuters is how little they are paid relative to their cockpit companions. At mainline carriers, F/Os top out at 70% of CA wages, where as at the commuters you're lucky to hit 40%. A select few come close to 50%.
Is that the fault of ALPA National, or ALPA Local pilots at each given airline that ratify CBAs containing such <I hate this effing word> "inequality"?
