The 900 TA that was signed had the "flow" in seniority order. They made working at a regional a job, not a career. Scott Kirby was very specific in that he didn't want the regionals to become a final resting place.
So we are seeing with the new pay rates, a 2nd year f/o at mainline is greater than the top of the line captain at PSA.
They don't want senior Captains. Yet they need DE's and LCA and sim instructors. This is the C pay scale that mainline wanted so badly. Just no one is sticking around to take it. Every single f/o and captain that I speak to has apps out. What does that say when Jet blue or Spirit/ delta/fedex/ups...calls?
Don't complain about not flying. When you get on line you will have plenty of time away from home. For now let's hope the situation gets worse so they are forced to give people seniority numbers to keep the senior pilots from leaving.
