The $2000 you got per month on training pay is NOT the same $2000 per month those who came after you received.

Who is the "we're" you are talking about? Who should I clear talking about 1st year pay with.
I agree that training pay is pathetic and should be tied to inflation. But $62 an hour equals about $4500 a month (before Obama) for a HKG FO is only marginally better and could cause us to lose some good guys and gals.
