He's just trying to justify the low pay for us so there's no revolt against senior pilots like him that makes $130K/yr. The pay disparity is just criminal. FOs have been subsidizing his income for years and he doesn't want it to stop so he's trying to convince everyone how it's not so bad.

 

awesome, those of us that are actually using this thread as a medium to acquire what little intel there is available to us are not gonna have it open much longer due to the degradation of the topic. cheers.

 

If you are seeking a mainline pilot job, then you must also agree to keep the regionals at low pay so as to subsidize the mainline pilots pay and benefits that you glean for. Would that be a correct statement and if not, why not?

 

No. I just explained very well on the sheet why I busted them. Both weren't too serious and I did just fine on the re-check.

 

actually, mainline carriers use regionals because they do it cheaper. If regionals raise the pay, the benefit for the airlines to contract to regionals is no longer there and mainline carriers would grow. Regionals get the pay they deserve as profesionals and job progression to a major would also be a viable option. A win win situation..... just not for management.

 

This is why youll never see an "American Eagle Updates?" thread with 1 million views and thousands of replies. Welcome to AMR.

 

Boyd's been pooh-poohing RJ's for as long as they've been flying. The RJ's of today ARE indeed a dying breed, but the RJ is evolving into one that will be around in droves tomorrow...........it just has more seats.

The Boyd group is world renowned for their anti-RJ stance and their bias makes them a virtually worthless source.

 

Many people (myself incuded) know how to spell. Sometimes we are in a rush and get lazy. Most know this, for virtually EVERYONE does it at one time or another. Others can't see past this and allow an occasional spelling or grammatical error to distract them from content.

That error lies with the reader.

Maybe Sully did complain, but in his book he implies the opposite. I suppose I can assume he was lying like you apparently are. I'm not making any argument other then it would be nice if a probationary new-hire position on a 50-seat aircraft paid $50,000/year, but that's not reality and likely never will be. What "most" other regional pilots can count on in their first year is meaningless as my post was about AMERICAN EAGLE pay, but your ridiculous distraction with spelling has caused you to miss this.

I think if you spent more time on content instead of nitpicking errors you'd be a little less confused.

 

LOL !!!!

You're going to "revolt" and change things ?

Interesting.

The pay is what it is and always has been that way. I wish it were different. I started just like you, but neither me nor any of my fellow pilots then (now senior) whined and complained like so many of the pilots of today.

Since it's not likely to change and you seem so miserable, perhaps it's time for you to resign and head over to the unlimited potential of Chick-Fil-A like Mason advocates ?

It seems to me this profession isn't making you happy.

 

Agreed.

I made a post of some factual information to help, but it's tough to provide facts with these types of characters insisting on hijacking this thread for their own interests. We need to keep the topic about AE and providing factual information, not the everlasting complaints of low pay or senior pilot conspiracies that produce nothing of substance.
