You missed my point because you're to ready to beat someone up. I've got a few friends at whisky and not one of them has anything positive to say about the QOL. But hey he gets paid more.

And the fact that we fly a bigger airplane gets tossed in our face a lot more then we toss it in yours. We could care less. Furthermore just like everything else we don't have a say in these things. The contract we are currently working under was negotiated with the possibility of aircraft this size. We did not even have an option for one when the deal was sealed. We are in the middle of negotiations but frankly no one here is going to fall on our sword because some other pilot group thinks we are sell outs. We'll agree on terms that we find fair and sensible. It won't do us any good to have the BEST pay in the industry. It will only be a matter of weeks for one of the many companies pilot groups that whine about us to take a knee with the hope of getting more flying and upgrading quicker. Ask everyone that was on top at some point how things are going today. And then crap in my hat because I did it to them? Grow up!

I'll say it again for the speed readers. We need to fix our work force and take pilot wage and work rules off the table. The only way to do that is too come together as a professional work force. When one company can pit another against another then compititon and human nature will take over. You are going to protect you and your family. I wish I was wrong.

To the other caller: I don't exactly think having 125 out of 2400 on the street as a big recession here at RAH. We had given up our 135 Delta flying out of Cincy and are pealing off the crj's per the plan. Until we take over the world, "stay tuned for that" we are over staffed. Airline's over staffed furlough, other industrys just fire you. Of course we don't want it but...wait what exactly was your point again?
