Are you implying that I was qualified or experienced?
No, I was implying that you were not qualified and inexperienced.
Yes, all the moeny should belong to you, right? Because you earned it and no one else has. Back to the point, all you Big Shot "Greater than thou" mainliners, x-military, ego driven 20 yr CA's have everything to lose by helping out, you cant look past you own wallet or pride and you fear that if you do you will be less somehow so nothing can happen.
Wow, I'm a second year FO at a major, not a 20yr CA. And yes, I spent 12 years in the military. Point being, if I can leave 12 years of service for the majors, YOU ALSO can do the same without harming your QOL. My initial point was to the regional CA who thinks they can't leave because of this. They choose to stay for their own reasons. My point is, as ALPA or a national union for that matter, we should make them not want to stay by capping the regional salary.
Not for 7 years
Really, let's see. 4 years of college, followed by 4 years of medical school, followed by 4 years of residency, then maybe a few years of fellowship...Ok, maybe they made 30K a year while in residency and fellowship, but they still have 150K in loans. You do the math.
I have my eye on well more than $60K but its not always about the money.
WOW. That's great! I live in an area where only one regional and one mainline have a base anywhere close. I would spend the REST OF MY CAREER at the regional to live at home if I couldnt get on with the mainline here. I dont want SW with their big paychecks and good routes,
I want to be home with my spouse, my children, my siblings, my partents and my lifelong friends. It has nothing to do with being happy at $60K. It has everything to do with being happy with different priorites. Noble, but that's the same mentality I could have if I decide to cross a picket line. I'll work for nothing because it suites me just fine. Most career regionals pilots have made that choice and you are getting mad at them because they arnt starving for doing it?? Whats wrong with you?
