Ya, that's what I meant when I said, A LOT has changed. I could have sworn I had a sentence in there about how much better the contracts are now...must have deleted it on accident.

Anyway, on our lowest paying fleet (717) 2nd year pay, I would equal my mil pay...with more time off and a metric crap ton less BS. As a 4 year guy, I deploy soon and I'll be taking ~35-40% pay cut to go on orders. I have lots of 717 Captains junior to me, even in my base, if I had taken that, it would be closer to 45-50% paycut.

About the only people I see taking this offer are the guys that are just short of retirement or those who think they'll be able to snag an O-6 retirement.
