The future is lots of movement to the majors and getting the Regional FO longevity back down to under three years. If we give a New Hire a 10k bonus and it means an 8 year capped FO gets a 40k raise isn't that the kind of deal you would want. If your position is screw the upgrade let this place shut its doors then you should just move on to somewhere else and get out of the way since you don't care about the success of Endeavor anyway. Bottom line keep things in perspective. Endeavor is now a growing airline.
Until the next time that plans don't work and you find yourself a 9 year captain downgraded at 4 year fo pay (and unable to pay the bills thanks to that) If there is true growth, there could be 100 year FO pay, it shouldn't matter... During the bankruptcy, the company fought hard for the 12/
4 cap for a reason (they knew that 90% of FOs were about to be over that 4 year cap)....If this growth is true, there should be no reason NOT to restore the 8 year FO scale.
