No wonder Beford can afford to buy Frontier, Midwest, and loan USAir money.....
Top FO pay at Eagle is only $4/hr more than at RAH. 50 seat captain pay is almost identical. Our 70+ seat captain pay scale tops out higher than yours. Our work rules aren't the greatest, but they're not the worst. We don't sit "airport reserve" and we don't have junior manning like you guys do. I don't know where you get off saying RAH is a terrible regional. Maybe you're just flamebaiting, but thanks for diverting attention from the original subject.
