Its not all bad. A lot of people have said that they don't care about the pay, they just want their upgrade. Well, there it is for you.
While I agree with what you say that maybe not entirely true...I've been at Mesaba three years and am still on the bottom 20% of the list, since the Saabs are going away on the Delta side and with the rates being unblended, my guess is a displacement or a MultiClass bid will push me to the Saab, I will probably end up commuting and taking a pay cut from the current blended XJ rates...while I may get a good spot on the FO list on the Saab, I don't wish to sacrifice pay and a lengthy commute for that...even if it is short term
