Although this is still BS!! I didn't even receive that.
All I can say is $500 - $600 checks every 2 weeks just doesn't pay the bills PERIOD.
Sorry to hear about this, Xtreme. That is complete and total BS! At XJ, due to some clauses in our contract, we had many FO's who had been down graded almost a year ago still receiving CA pay. They were sitting there soaking up CA pay and getting better schedules as an FO!
You should NOT stand for this. Refuse to fly left seat until they pay you left seat wages... THE WHOLE MONTH!
