...ok, i seem to have hit a nerve with many here. I will just clarify that I do think 1st year pilots deserve 137 an hour. I dont think they should suffer and I dont feel like there are any dues they should pay because "i did it".
I once asked my rep (who apparently has changed their mind with this TA) why we cant just raise 1st year pay so that we are properly staffed and I was convinced that we cant give the company something they want (raising 1st year pay) without getting something in return. This gives that away. If this was the penultimate payscale and we didnt have to worry about future leverage then whatever, but I dont think it is.
