thanks for the kind word of praise but the fact is i was referring to your pay "after" the snapback you so quickly jump too. 34/hour for an fo on a jet is pretty poor at 3rd year. i guess you will now say that "its ok cause i will upgrade in a year or two". well your captain pay was not looking too hot either. i'm not knocking you for accepting what you got. i would never do it...but we are all different. i just always thought mesaba was on par and not a bunker and water foul away. to give you an idea fo pay at comair was around 45 hour for three year fo on the 70/90 at the same pay scale you are referring to (time-line wise) eight year fo pay? try around 52/hour. does that give you some perspective as to what i am accustomed to? so when i look at your pay and say WOW! maybe now you know why.
