sad compare NWA DC-9 vs. Mesaba crj 900 pay scale!.... What good is ALPA or Union? Pilots pay Union fees for what? Companies can cut jobs anytime, make you pay for training as they wish, create another certificates whenever, break current contracts, take your pay, buy new fleet with your money, and well!!!!!!.

Why is it so hard for the regionals to actually settle on a contract that pays pilots more than $250 a week after taxes and benefits during their first year as a reserve RJ first officer. Is ALPA national really helping the regionals that are in negotiations? Something really has to be done about the underbidding RJ game. It's has gotten out of control.

Guys, it's the same airplane for 1/2 the wages:
