With all due respect, anybody who had those expectations when they were hired by a regional airline in the last 3-4 years didn't do their research...especially on that "stability" part.
As far as Air Wisconsin goes...
The August 2005 captain pay rates for the B146 from the 2001 ARW CBA represent about a 10% increase from the current year RAH 99 seat rates...yet still about 8% below current JetBlue E190 rates. Additionally, the top rate in the 2001 CBA for the B146 was for 2005 after
20 years of longevity...and it was $135.65. The top rate before the concessionary CBA went into effect in 2008 was $124.82, also for a 20 year captain.
I think I speak for everyone when I say I hope that Republic pilots can match the ARW 2001 CBA payrates +/- a couple percent for the E175 and get at or better than JetBlue for the E190.
