I was wrong too. My apologies for the misstatements.
First slowplay.. now you? The DC quake aftershocks continue....

It was contained in a Letter of Agreement called "Sunshine Operation".

Back in those days the contract listed rates per minute for Captains and a percentage of that rate for FOs.

The sunshine captains were mostly between 5 and 8 years seniority.
The FOs were mostly new hires.

5th year Capt rate -- $1.729167 per min (roughly $103 per hour)
8th year Capt rate -- $1.800500 (roughly $108 per hour)

1st year FO -- $0.55 per minute
2nd year FO -- 45% capt rate
3rd year -- 54%
4th year -- 63%
.
.
10th year -- 68%

Its hard to calculate the mainline rate for comparison because it was so complex.
We got "base pay" plus hourly "speed pay" plus "mileage pay" plus "gross weight pay".

Let's just say the Sunshine captains were workin for about half pay. Maybe 2/3 of mainline.
Thanks to the situation in New York, pilots, especially reserves, may find their jobs lacking in some of the finer quality of life aspects which are typically enjoyed by inmates, POWs in Western Countries and those in mental hospitals. Just be aware, it could be worse. You could be a FOX News reporter down stream from the sewer plant during a flood:

btw, Auburn hasn't lost a game since 2009.


I'm going to milk this as long as I can.

And sea foam is poop? How disgusting to be that guy and say "it doesn't taste very good."

Just give it a few years and it'll be determined they didn't win a single one.
Quote: Hey, look, I'm not trying to argue with you. It sounds like you're probably technically correct. I just remember that, when I first got here, we definitely referred to the first few years as a B scale and I'm pretty sure the pay rates were much lower in the first few years and then jumped substantially up at some point (maybe 3 to 5 years?) to more "normal" rates. Then I remember everybody being excited (and I'm pretty sure I remember some official communications) when it was announced that we had finally eliminated this "B Scale." But that was like 13 years ago and the alzheimers is kicking in now ... or maybe I just dreamed the whole thing up!

This is almost exactly my recollection too. I'm not trying to argue about it either...so Slow, sorry I said you were wrong. I do remember it exactly like dal 88 does tho.

Youre right. In a couple of years they'll look back and remember that we didn't win a single one... WE WON 14!!!!!!
