The most implausible part of the MEC email is the 40 a month flow. I definitely will not believe that until I see it. Even if it were to happen, it would only change my flow date a few months. Pretty small benefit in the grand scheme of things. Be that as it may, that also means that I will likely only been here for, perhaps one retention bonus payout and 6 months of a possible pay raise. Trust me when I tell you, I am far from being drunk with excitement. Again, even with those benefits, I will still make less money than you.

I am actually just happy to see regional pilot compensation going to where it should have always been and I am happy for the hard working FO, especially those who were hired just before the AMR bankruptcy who have, in my opinion, really gotten the short end of the stick. Be upset about it all you want. It will not likely change anything. The only person you are hurting is yourself.

This is great news for every FO at this company. Just be happy for them and leave it at that.
