Most of our seniority list was hired while we didn't have the highest rates.
Even you had reasons other than pay to come here.
Our vacation is good, but that’s zero reason to work for substandard pay. Neither is what happened 15 years ago. Regionals use to pay pennies now first year pay is $90/hr.
We fly bigger airplanes into smaller airports during worse hours with more DG on board making the company more revenue than our PAX counterparts. Zero reasons to work for less money. Know your worth!
