Guess that means when I fly a 135 I am getting paid more than one of your chums on the 170 who is flying twice that many seats. But you're right. Good point TD. Another winner from your sharp mind
Now you're trying to change the stance of your argument. You went from trying to argue the "morals" of flying a larger aircraft for the same pay to the actual dollar number. In essence completely different debates. Pick one or the other. If you want to talk dollar then yes your pay as an FO is a little better. Considering when ours was negotiated I'd say we did very well. Our company is making money hand over fist so we'll see how the next set comes out. When it does I won't be waving it over your head.
You were basing your statements that we don't get a pay increase with an increase in seats as an FO. Guess what... You don't either. The $$$ amount you actually get paid as an FO to fly for a regional, per your argument, holds no ground and is a simple shot in the dark.. almost a post of panic as you've just realized you're ever bit the same as those you try and talk down to.
