Wow... is it any wonder why the airline pilot profession in the US has died? Look at this thread... we're so obsessed about date-of-hire and damn everything else.
And frankwasright says:
Hey,my flight department just closed.Your boss hired me to be your boss,since I've been at this longer than you (more experience,types,etc.)-you have any problem with that ? Oh,and I make way more than you. You're cool with that,right ? I AM "entitled" to it,after all.
Not necessarily entitled, but if you can negotiate it, and command it... and then put your money where your mouth is... more power to you.
At my company, you'd also be a fellow coworker and you'd be paid based on which type of airplane you're flying. If you can negotiate higher pay than me... all the better for me - it gives me ammo to have a better shot at getting a raise.
How about taking into equation what THE BOSS or the CLIENTS or the CUSTOMERS want?
Why should we care about something like THAT?!?!? It's all about me....
