If, at some point, if in the next few years there are 6 or 7 year guys at Focus still on a five year payscale, then you can pop off with your rhetoric. By the way I believe your RJ replacing mainline flying is what started "lowering the bar" in regards to airline pay rates..........not the supplementals.
Wow mrvmo... well first off yes I am probably a lot smarter than you would guess... unless you're guessing me as some sort of genius then it's a different story... But anyway do some research dude. First Focus Air is a brand new company 1 year old I believe so it is impossible for someone to have been there for three years...and even if they had usually contact negotiations occur in 4 year cycles so they would hit the top anyway... As for regionals lowering the bar well yes there are some but not all and btw there have always been regionals odds are there will always be regionals. If the regionals needed to be mainline a/c then the unions should have negotiated pay rates all the way down to 1900's and metros back in the day to keep the regionals from comming into existance.. But simple fact of the matter regionals have been here since before I was born and will probably be here after I kick the bucket.... So dont tell me about steeling flying tell the FUKING UNION...(I would be happy to fill my current seat as a member of a mainline seniority list) As for apples to apples then.... 1st year NWA 744CA $132,192 five year $136,272 Top pay rate 12 years $144,432; 1st year UAL 744CA 131,820, five year UAL 744CA $134,940 top 744CA $141,960.... Back to Focus Air 1st year 742 CA $70,560 5th year $91,440 and after that top pay oops there is nothing else..... There again bottom feeder lowering the bar... Now mrvmo I realize that you are new to this forum (currently showing 7 posts) and haven't shown any indication of position of qualifications (so by your statements I'm guessing the answer is not much... probably a college student, PPL with a big mouth) but please.... please... please... for the love of God get a clue... and think before you open your pie hole next time.... Anyway I have to go back to work soon so gone for while....
