I'll be one of them walking this time.
If we go back to the old contract without bonus, and with the new Delta contract, the difference in pay between a mainline Cseries FO, and regional 76 seater FO pay, is over $120,000 per year. The Captain gap is even bigger, and all for an additional 25 seats. There has never been a gap that large.
