We'll boot SWA because well they are very well compensated for and average of $65.94/hr. Jet blue pay is $58/hr on the 190 vs. $75 on the the bus. I may be mildly irritated if someone junior to me was on the bus and I was not allowed to bid to it for $17K a year!

That's $10 less than I was making as a E145 capt last year. I think the trick in life is to improve your earning power am I wrong?

There's a lot of E190 3rd year FO's who have junior FO's making more money in the A320. The 190 FO's will eventually get to upgrade on the A320 before the junior guys but for now................Ouch!
