You don't sound like a dick. You sound like a dumbass. I'm not referring to your proven inability to grasp proper grammar, spelling or punctuation; I'm speaking more towards your ignorance concerning the regional airline history spanning the last 15+ years.

So many of us were going to "get our time and get out" like I'm sure is what you're currently banking on. Myself and many of my peers are on year 10 and still trying but I'm sure you have more to offer the big boys as soon as you meet their minimums.

You are not worth the time I just wasted pointing out your stupidity. That was stupid on my part.

You should thank baby Jesus nightly that Mesa was conducting phone interviews when you were hired.

And finally, before you blame your lack of intelligence on your phone autocorrecting to poor spelling and improper grammar again...

But in all seriousness, the lifers make 80k+ a year while the first year FO's don't even make a livable wage. And THEY think they are underpaid, ha.

 

We're all underpaid. A good chunk of the lifers are victims of the Lost Decade and circumstance. Even then, many are still trying to move on. I find most of them want to improve this place for everyone here, so why vilify them?

 

True we are all underpaid. And I certainly don't want to vilify them. Just stating an opinion that I think the lifers pay is the least of our worries.

 

There were a few guys that failed the July class go to Peidmont. The August class is "all present and accounted for".

 

Last time I checked a person has the ability to apply and work at whatever "airline", " job" etc...I don't feel sorry for anyone whose knowingly goes to a place that pays peanuts.

 

"the culmination of four years of very challenging negotiations that secured advances in virtually all areas of their contract."
Apparently the MEC thinks a lot more of the TA than the pilot group. That just came in the ALPA email/newsletter.

 

Every airline in history started by paying peanuts....and then a lot of time and effort went in to making it a decent paying career. Learn the history.
