Nobody here is thrilled with the Q pay scales either. Especially not the FOs, which is why the vast overwhelming majority of the Q FOs, if not ALL of them, are new-hires. If there are any FO transitions to the Q, it would only be because they live in the EWR area and want to be home, and you can't blame them for that. But I don't know of any Saab or Beech FOs that went to the Q.

I can't speak fo the captains that transitioned to the Q, but when someone walks up to you and asks you if you want a raise, would you turn it down?
