[QUOTE=PizzaBoy;1284575][QUOTE=Trip7;1284459] The only real concession you take from PBS is the ability to drop trips that touch your vacation and still get paid. You'll get the same amount of days off with our system but paid 75 hrs.

You realize that concession would cost the average ERJ CA about $20K and FO about $10K a year? Yes that's a REAL concession. How is that unclear? You guys should want better, not the lowest common denominator.
I find it extremely hard to believe that an XJT FO is "on average" making 10k a year more than me just because of the line bidding system. So FOs making 60k-70k over there?

35 isn't what I would exactly call a great number. Regardless of number, I doubt any of it is worth gloating over.

I was talking about future growth from United, American, and probably even Delta 700/900 flying. Obviously L-XJT guys won't upgrade into the current vacancies

There might be more 70 or 90 seaters, but you guys will lose 50 seat flying as well. L-ASA will be shrinking as well......

And don't worry, I'll upgrade in the next class. One huge difference between L-ASA and XJT is our guys want more than flying a CRJ 700 until we retire.... We may not grow, but we will have a lot more attrition than your side, but thanks for trying to make us XJT guys feel like crap about our shrinking company.....

Last time I checked we've grown since the ATRs. Just because we take off Delta paint doesn't mean it's heading to the desert.

Ok my bad (at least I can admit it). In my defense I've got no power courtesy of Sandy so I'm getting punchy. More like $6K and $2K, but STILL cash out of my pocket aka a concession!

You just need to run along and go play with your toys. Come back when you're done posting like a "punchy" child.

JustAnotherPLT, I hope you represent the views of a small minority of ASA pilots. If not we're all screwed no matter what side you're on. Try to be a little less divisive will you? Do you think that you're part of the problem or solution? You calling someone a child is pretty ironic. You come on here and gloat about the demise of PILOTS. Pilots who you will work side by side with someday.

You're a regional FO do you think you earn a wage that accurately reflects the education, training, and responsibility that you have?
