Haha, dude you're a regional CA. I would put our pathetic 2nd year FO pay W2 next to your CA W2 any day.
I make no excuses about the pay, its being negotiated, but how much less are you flying those mainline routes for on your RJ, compared to the 737s that were on them before?
The pay sucks now but I would be the work rules are a whole lot better than the regional you fly for. I doubt you even make more than the ridiculous $72 we pay our second year guys
