When bonuses are taken into account of hourly rates, yes... Otherwise the contract is not at the bottom of the list. Overall compensation isn't less than other comparable regionals. All I know is I made good money last year flying a 50 seat RJ around, without trying very hard. We have to keep in perspective we are comparing ourselves to others flying much larger aircraft for approximately the same or less per hour (a regional is a regional is a regional, I get it). I would love to make more per hour and for these bonuses to not only be for this year, but our MEC decided to give that up (which we could talk about for DAYS)... I will just leave it at that. Let's keep our heads up and fight for better rates and a better overall contract. We have a good reputation in the industry for a reason, let continue to uphold that and settle for nothing less.
