Just a couple of quick actual facts since yours are a bit thin.
#1 We at RAH can't get junior manned. I can pick up my phone and tell them NO!
#2 PBS tends to hose you anyway. I bid min sked every month and still got stuck with 89 hours. Not my fault.
#3 Our FO pay rate was a blended rate between a SAAB340 and a EMB140 we didn't even have a 170 on the property when the contract was negotiated. Now we do and we are in negotiations and working on it, stand by.
And finally some things were given up to avoid a inner office whipsaw attempt and we have a pretty solid scope clause thanks too it. It's yet to be seen how strong,we'll have to see how this business with Midwest pans out.
PS: If you aren't working here, which you aren't since your facts are all hacked up what they heck do you care?
I bid min because I choose too and can afford too and it may help someone else out. But I can't speak for someone else who may need the extra money, and frankly neither should you!
