American Eagle 700 $83, 50 seat $79, Comair 700, $96, 50 seat $86, Republic 700 $83, 50 seat $79. This is for an 11 year Captain. Is that your version of TOP of the industry?
Dude, quit drinking the Kool-aid. You're the one that asked you're kidding..
I know that you really can't be that big of an idiot to not factor in our new pay package, thus the reason for the above statement. The pay scale that you’re using is over 6 years old. Name one regional that hasn't had a new TA in over 6 years and 6 years ago our pay scale was top of the industry as well. In 2007 our new 200/700/900 rates are respectively (11 yr CA) 78/82/82, 2008 78/83/83, 2009 78/84/84, and 2010 78/85/85. Add in our credits and bonuses and we will be top of the industry again. Plus you can't compare Comair seeing that their in so much trouble and won't be retaining their current TA for much longer, concession will be taken. After all, they are loosing flying. AND, you smoke to much if you think Jerry will pay his "Step Child" more than his "Son."
You're a pilot, math shouldn't be that hard. I know that the above numbers are nothing to brag about but if we’re going to compare numbers make sure there apples to apples.
P.S. I said that our pay is “Top of the Industry” not “Industry Leading.”
Puff, Puff, Give SMOKEY!
