And the rest of us laugh at you stating you're a legacy new hire. That's even more funny!

It would be nice if all pilot salaries were current DAL or Shenzen rates....., but regrettably there are middle of the road contracts like this one..., and there are way lower paid pilots competing not only on one route but in many US airports for decades now and I don't see anybody racing hell about it....!

How much you think a 787 captain at LAN or AeroMexico makes?

it would be great if we can make a coordinated effort into raising the terms and conditions for all pilots worldwide!

I'll give you another example...., PAWA Dominicana that just got approval to fly to the US...., their captains make around 4,500/M and their F/O's 2,500...., they will be competing on the JFK/SDQ...MIA/SDQ routes...!

It is sad that we as professionals would allow this to happen and not shine a light into these types of abuses towards fellow pilots.

Work smarter and a little harder. I easily clear that and I'm not at 120 an hour either. I agree, this is terrible for the US longhauls. We really are our own worst enemies. Too bad people won't stay away until this scumbag outfit pays what a 75 international should. In the end, it was never realistic for us Americans to live so very well compared to the overwhelming majority of the rest of the world. Unsustainable.

I would necessarily say it was flocking but more out of necessity.
If you don't have a job, you have to find one and sometimes you have to go or move to where the jobs are.

That's a snappy comeback, Gilligan.

Hopefully someone can, because it sure as heck ain't democrats.

Sincerely,

SayAlt, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on the money forum **** a doodle dooing about the end of the world? How's the bunker coming along? With the profits from the market hitting 18K you can now probably swing for that Italian espresso machine.
