US Air caps at $95 per hour from 10yrs on up.
RAH 10yr pay =$90 for 175+. At 12yrs equal. At 15yrs it's $10+ over US Air.

When everyone is arguing pay are they talking about first year FO pay? I have no doubt our guys are working on FO pay. Lets not play Micheal Moore with the numbers. They can all be pushed out of context. Why don't we all jump over to the cargo board and jump up and down on UPS guys because they pay $35 an hour to fly a 747! Truth be told there's always more than just that first little number everyone spouts. I know I know the FO pay still isn't great but give a little credit when due and appreciate everything that's taken place and the ability of the pilot group to contain it as well as they have. Given the extremely rapid expansion of the company as well has all the little holes they've tried to poke in the contract i'm still rather proud of my pilot group for the stances they've taken. I've seen other groups bend over and take it on some of these same issues where ours has stood firm and now is moving forward hopefully with current negotiations.
