I doubt the junior fo's at ASA really want to come trade places with me and lose 7,200$ per year. So yeah, because of circumstances certain pilots(Junior ASA FO's) are treated more favorably than others(EMB FO's at Skywest)
And that is a product of the lack of raises given to the EMB pilots the last couple of times your non-union representatives put it out to vote. Its too bad that the little leverage pilots get is from a union recognized by the NMB which forces the company to bargain in good faith and take into account the possibility of self help.
