FWIW my buddy who is an FO at RAH just cancelled his interview there due to the new contract. As a 3rd going on 4th year FO 170/175 he'll beat a 2nd year FO at G4 with more time off. Hopefully a reduction in pilots coming over from RAH will shrink the pilot pool a bit.
I really doubt a 4th year RAH fo makes more than $70 an hour. Even with all the work rules in the world, that statement is a stretch. Maybe if he uses every trick in the contract, then it might be close.
