Jumped on a 717 the other day as well being operated by an ATL crew. FO was new and kept is mouth shut but the capt loved the pay rates. When I brought up FO's giving up flying for OE trips he response was it didn't effect him. I did point out a chunk of the raise was self funded, the changes to our JV and that we are basically headed towards being a small airplane doestic airline so I hoped he really like the 717. That got his attention.......
