I'm not saying we don't deserve more bro. It's all a process in time. What I am saying is that we aren't getting screwed with our pants on like some try and make it out to be and we aren't ruining the industry with our 175 pay. I showed in another post where it's right on target with $ per seat. All of that is based on captain pay however. FO wise yes we can use better but we can't exactly complain about it either when compairing it to the rest of the regional industry. There are a few with better and a lot with worse. This negotiation we're in will definitly be interesting. I'm sticking a steak in anything that doesn't have duty rigs. BB has done good things though. We've all got jobs because of them. I could be a fool but I honestly think he cares. I understand the economics of inflation and the hurting pay scale. I want better true, however when aiming at things I want in the contract the FO payscale isn't top of the list for me. That's just my opinion on things but I don't see FO pay bad enough, compared to the industry, where it tops my list. Rig or die!

On another note what do people's bids look like for Oct? I went from 76hrs and 15 days off to 78hrs and 12 days off. WTF! Guess the new pairing guy they hired from Mesa is up and running.
