What on earth are you talking about?

Do you know why RAH got XJT flying? It is because they have a cheaper operation. How much do your FO's get paid over there? How much do their FO's get paid on the 170? We have a more costly contract than RAH does, don't tell us they didn't cost CAL less.

Why don't you compare a 5-year 170 FO at RAH to a 5 year DC-9 FO at NW.

Yes really. Read my first post. I didn't say people should be running in the streets crying. I'm saying it's a bid deal. Huge deal. A company has been losing money, their cash pile has been shrinking, they are now cutting back on the pilot group. IT'S A BIG DEAL. I find it odd that so many are comfortable with this. Or maybe just not wanting to admit what's going on.

Last I check you have 175's and your rates are for the 190 as well. Keep it up. You still pay FO's like sh*t over there. What are RAH's FO rates for the 70 seater versus XJT's FO rates for the 50 seater?

You, my friend, are clearly not familiar with the concept of sarcasm. Must be sad and dark and lonely living in such a literal world

You sure seem to care an awful lot about the COLA at XJT and why we aren't freaking out... There are some guys here who are probably jumping for joy. I'm kinda like "meh...whatever...wish the girlfriend got offered a month off so we could go travel...oh well. Back to my USA Today."
