Current upgrade is at July 2014 (3yr pay). Yes they do not get a lot more in this TA but as you pointed out they can upgrade soon which is a big increase, especially since they will be line holders right away.

I know some want to find the negative in anything but this really is a win-win. AAG needs to attract more pilots to their regionals, and they're paying for it. New pilots get enticed with higher pay and current pilots get more money than they signed up for without loosing anything.

Yes AAG is making record profits, yes they can afford to pay us more, and yes we deserve more. But this is money for nothing! Cmon, if only the chicks were free...
