First of all that was not the agreement the union and company came up with, and the company is in complete violation of this! They both repeated many times that capt pay started at the beginning of IOE, PERIOD! Not just when your on IOE, but the guarntee also. This was on our first day in class when we were told we weren't going to get capt pay from the start, nor be check airmen. The union did this to aviod letting the company delay our capt IOE, so the could use us as FOs. I've been on IOE for over a 1 1/2 months so basically they're getting a way with it. Your wrong about getting FO pay from the left seat, I've flown some part 91 trips for them from the left seat. Since I'm not technically finished with my IOE, what pay you think I get, thats right FO PAY!!! I was hired here as capt and check airmen, and was told I was to get captain pay from day one. Everybody in my class was told the same line of crap. Then there is the whole check airmen fabrication. I was lured here from a good airline by all these promises, and now I'm making $1000 dollars a month, this is unacceptable! I'm not going to settle down, I'm mad as hell! I now there is a lot of us who feel the same way, and I know I'm not going to take this laying down.
