Start high and bargin. We are in a period of time in which 7,8,9yr FO's will be common place. I really don't care how the number are figured but 60grand before taxes is not bad. Thats equal to 30bucks/hr at a regular job, take home a little under 40grand. Even if we do get some better pay you can count on more of the same BS. No contracts, Give backs, no location pay, I could go on and on.

Wow,
Thanks for giving me a paycut!!! Well I guess with your competitive rates team AMR is correct I am overpaid!!
I think we have fallen so far these rates look acceptable. If I took our AA 1997 rates and just increased them for cost living they would far exceed your numbers.
Why do we as pilots feel we always have to save the airline. If you took the mistakes all managers at each of our respective airlines has made over the decades they number in the tens of billions, and we the pilots and employees end up subsidizing these mistakes.
We still subsidize the passenger tickets, and a few pilot groups just subsidized fuel last year.
Cutting pay of employees is the easy way out, changing the fundamentals of how an airline is run is the hard part.
