Look at the pay rates in the contract. You can't just make that statement outright and then say a 767-400 should pay the same as a 747-400 when one carries 100+ more people. So you can't be "ok" with that, and then try to say the rate for the CS-100 is too low. That's called hypocrisy.
You are one of the victims. You are always looking for ways to find out you have been cheated again. If the CS-100 paid the same as a 737-900, you'd complain that the 737-900 rates are too low, because certainly that airplane should pay more than a 100 seat airplane.
So you are going to complain no matter what. I hope we never get the airplane at all. That way we won't have to worry about 2,000 more status and category pilots under you in another merger, and in a furlough, the junior pilots can just go back to Express Jet instead of staying on the property.
