And we wonder why we can never get improvements. We have guys here that feel it is there responsibility to help not only SkyWest save money (that they will lavishly spend on executives) but to also help Delta save money. Heaven forbid that you actually pay someone to fly a jet full of 90 people!
Funny thing is that I would've been content to live in base and make 120K. But if I am going to be forced to be away from my family for 15-17 days per month, I may as well be doing it as an FO at mainline. I am not going to commute back east to be a lineholder CA and I sure as hell am not going to go back to reserve on the West Coast. Lots of people in my class that took the upgrade in MSP and ORD are regretting it. 6 days away from home and then being back home for 1-2 days is getting old apparently.
