I disagree, that doesnt have much to do with the argument. All airlines, regional and mainline have lower first year pay unfortunately regardless of the planes. Even UPS and FedEx have lower first year pay scales. I think we can all agree first year pay
SHOULDN'T be low at any airline just because you are "new".
Would you accept a position flying for a mainline carrier if it meant 30k first year? Would you prefer all flying be at the mainline level if it meant All of our longevity's started at an earlier point? If all flying was at the mainline level NONE of us would have to take big pay cuts to "improve" our careers as we would have started our Career longevity once we started at the bottom. Just a thought.
