The average person only works for Pinch a nickle for maybe 4 years. The goal is to build time and get the hell out. People who go there knowing exactly what they are getting into. Why not just work for a better place and let the company sink.

Still...people go there and we end up with jackasses flying 90 seat equipment for sixty grand a year(pinnacle, mesa) allowing the mainline to reduce jobs, completely screwing every other pilot out there out of a decent living wage. What was the profession paying for 90 seats 15 years ago? How will this trend end? Same wages as that of a bus or truck driver? Good luck with the second job.

What exactly is the Strike for anyway? Anything specific? 3 dollars more per hour? Good luck!!

FYI the Railway Labor Act is the exact reason we are not allowed overtime pay.
