1st Year Jet Blue Total Cockpit = $185/hr
1st Year RAH Total Cockpit______ = $87/hr
4th Year Jet Blue CA = $143/hr
4th Year RAH CA___ = $75/hr
4th Year Jet Blue FO = $79/hr
4th Year RAH FO___ = $37/hr **This is the maximum pay for RAH FO's!
4th Year Jet Blue Total Cockpit = $222/hr
4th Year RAH Total Cockpit______ = $112/hr
Let me even go farther for you
12th Year Jet Blue CA = $159/hr
12th Year RAH CA___ = $96/hr
12th Year Jet Blue FO = $97/hr
12th Year RAH FO___ = $37/hr **still only $37/hr!

Why is it sad? Republic is a regional that flies 170's and 175's, B6 is, no matter what you say, a mainline carrier and flies 190's and 320's. ALL airline pay is too low, don't get me wrong, but why would these two companies be compared?
