Amazing that people continue to go there. I'm getting furloughed in a couple weeks and live in STL, yet I find myself looking OUTSIDE aviation rather than working for Hulas again. It isn't hard to make first year FO pay doing something else. I'll keep my dignity.
Rationalize it all you want boys. You'll get no sympathy from me. Enjoy sitting in the right seat for 3 years waiting for upgrade too. Guess what? Their pay/bennies are about the worst among 70 seat operations.
