Ohh and to the poster who said you don't want to be the top dog, just munch on this for awhile. I am willing to wager that your seniority list is vastly younger then mine. With that comes longevity pay, or lack there of, in your case. At AWAC, we have a very, very senior pilot group with a decent pay scale that causes us to be extremely expensive. However, I see the day when our seniority list becomes much younger and our pilot costs go way down, compared to RAH's or others. However, with this, I also see RAH's costs going up due to the simple factor of alot of guys seem to enjoy it there, as evident by numerous posters saying that they content with 100k a year and 16 days off. I see the same thing happening at Comair/ExpressJet, with their costs going down. Also, as those nice, new E-170/175 become older, and break down more and more, your costs are going to skyrocket, not to mention the push to start bringing scope back to a more normal level. It should be interesting.
