All I am saying is don't throw rocks in glass houses if you go to to lowest paying regional and don't get the aircraft and upgrade times you think you are entitled to. Most of what I am saying is in response to the Mesa crowd hoping for more aircraft while insulting other carriers' CBAs.
Yeah, I was going to come one here and write a response but Ferris beat me to what I was going to say, word for word.
9 years? 6000 Turbine SIC? 3 Regionals?
Good lord man, start going to some of those JetBlue or Spirit open houses, like yesterday.
It all makes sense now... you're just another burnt out, jaded regional FO, who's either made a lot of bad decisions or had a lot of bad luck.
And I will make more money here, onto Captain pay at 17 months, at no other regional would I have upgraded this fast therefore accruing Captain pay this quickly.
Yes, pay for pay, contract vs contract, someone who spends exactly 4 years as an FO at MAG vs someone who spends exactly 4 years as an FO at someone like XJT, the XJT person is going to make more money. But it's never that black and white.
