Yup, I think I mentioned that if you read the whole thing...I stated-

"Yes, UPS and FEDEX come close in second year pay but one is not hiring and one is hiring about 3 people a month and you have to go to ANC, not so fun for a guy that lives on the east coast...just my two cents.

I find it humorous how people bash these companies/pilots when really only UPS/FEDEX/SWA pay what we consider "proper wages" and only UPS is hiring at a trickle"

So once again, where can someone getting hired today make $112+/hr second year pay and not commute to ANC? Honestly, who is setting the bar besides UPS/FEDEX/SWA? What percentage of people hired into UPS or FEDEX tomorrow (if they were hiring) are going spend most of next year in the lower 48? That's a big deal to some people. Sorry but I don't think RJ F/O's have a right to talk about setting any bars (flying big jets) AND I WAS ONE FOR 2 YEARS...Funny thing is, when I got hired, our contract did set the bar and it was a shame. If you owned an airline and could get people to work for pennies, wouldn't that make great business sense in this great land of capitalism? It all goes back to a national union...
