I've been an F/O for 21 years here at USAir. I can hold a line on the E-190 but why would I do that when it means taking an $18/hr paycut? Not that I don't want to be a Capt (been there done that got the ASA uniform to prove it) but at this point this is strictly about QOL and $$$ what little there is
Also BTW I believe that everyone at USAirways is now type rated on their equipment reguardless of seat. So both of us or all three are valued in the cockpit. I've even had C/O's tell me time and again that they feel that we are both Capt's. We DO have a very good bunch of guys here.
