I see what you're saying, and I think that's more the reason why it's messed up. Obviously the Mesaba guys should not have had to take a pay cut but why the heck can't everyone get the same pay? I mean what is this - US Airways and America West? At least they have a reason that they're on split pay scale! I know negotiating team had to concede some stuff but that just had to be colgan pilot pay? we're supposed to be one company one contract now, and yet the colgan guys will be second class citizens on the B scale. yeah I know I know the rest of the contract blah blah. the disparity is as much as $5 or 6 esp for FOs. which is a lot for an FO. too bad our group is too small to make a difference in the vote and it's obvious everyone involved in negotiating this B scale knew that. OK we'll just gratefully take whatever bone you throw because that's what we're supposed to do as the crappiest company coming into this, even if that includes lower pay for same work on same a/c at same company.
