I have no problem with the Virgin guys and regularly have them on my Jumpseat. What I do have a problem with is when one of them indicates that I'm asking for too much money in my contract and should be grateful to have a job, (and profit sharing).
Just like anywhere else there's a 5-10% a-hole factor at every airline. Doesn't matter who you fly for your bound to run into one of them eventually.
Stick to what you know Mr. "Putz" and stay out of my sandbox.

Horizon guys I believe >$120/hour. Not sure who else. Do you count Jet Blue and Republic?

We have many qx'ers trying to get on with Virgin despite the pay. Something about working for a company that might have a future.

I fly the RJ for JetBlue. My 6 year pay is $132 an hour and my premium is $200 an hour over 78 hours. I like my little RJ.

Not too long ago your 12 years captian pay was $88 an hour. It was your pay that was used in court to show the judge how over paid comair pilots were. Funny how things change.

Why is it not an RJ ? Is it a jet? Does it fly in a region? Can it fly transcon?

Would you prefer that the 190 be flown by a regional partner or mainline?
Compare JB and RAH rates on 190.
The aircraft does not impress me, but I would be happy to fly it for JB rates and terms.
