Airsupport,
I do not intend to insult you but..... the point someone was making about getting the pay up is still valid. I looked at your pay rates posted on APC and it shows CRJ captain maxing out at 82/hr. That's $20 less per hour than the average. So to be bragmatic that your pilot group did nothing to get these airplanes is a little silly. By not demanding a competitive rate to fly them you did "do something".
Hopefully, your pilot group did not agree to fly a 90 seat aircraft for 50 seat rates. Hopefully APC just hasn't posted the new rates yet.......but I fear that is not the case.
Stick
