Haven't compared recently, but I worked 'fewer' days for FedEx than my buds did for AA. And spent less time commuting, less wasted time in airports going to/from
What is the hire date of junior AA Captains? Your buddies are probably F/Os! So should you be an F/O as well?
You're talking about the AA contract.
I'm talking about the AA pay scale.
I'm not saying we should adapt the AA work rules. I'm saying we should be have a better pay scale. We are different companies that offer different inherent opportunities. I can't be domiciled in
BOS, DCA, DFW, LAX, LGA, MIA, ORD, STL. With our lack of other QOL issues outside of the contract like more locations, pass travel, etc, we should be better paid. Both in pay scale (we make bags of cash) and in work rules (night hub turns are hard on the body).
