Can you drop trips and pick up other lines to get premium pay like some other airlines, or massage your schedule to somehow make more than this in the first year?
Dear negotiations committee members, and Hal pilots, please don't forget first year pay in the next contract.
Sincerely, future hal pilot.
PS. The fact that one could make more at a regional first year, rather than at a "legacy" flying a widebody is borderline asinine. That being said still willing to take the cut for my dream airline...
