Here we go again,
"3rd year captain, 2nd year FO pay rates". Please tell me how a RAH crew at 66/31 is any worse then say a PSA crew at 62/30
And for the love of god would some one please justify the fact that a 76 seat Emb is any more mainline than a crj/700/900. Besides that if they are mainline airplane the mainline pilots should of fought to keep them! Frankly I would have rather seen that right along with 50 seaters. Dash 8/200's / Saab 320's or smaller for the regional carriers. Hell bring the shorts back! Someone screwed this business up long before you or I got here so lighten up with the personal slams.
