He didn’t gloss over anything. He pointed out how hypocritical it is for this guy to mock first year pay and how he will make more at Compass, while actively seeking a job to work at Spirit. As someone perfectly stated, “do as I say, not as I do”.

As to your point about 1st year pay vs 2nd year pay disparity. Would you rather them lower second year to bridge the gap between the two? Because it seems the gap isn’t your issue but the starting pay is your issue. This has been discussed on here before you even started here and yet, you applied and took the job because you did the math and realized it still a no brainer for you to leave a regional and come here. I’m sorry if the $20 increase in year 1 pay from last contract still isn’t sufficient to maintain your regional pilot quality of life you were accustomed to, (Mesa? “)

I look forward to seeing you and everyone who wants higher first year pay on the picket lines in a few years as we fight for our next contract. I’m sure the fire for higher first year pay will still burn bright in all of your hearts while 40 of us walk the picket line again.
