Listen. Nobody said, first year FO pay anywhere in the regionals is a walk in the park. The way the payscales on this very site and the "Most JR BE-1900 Cap't times" express it is, at the 6 month stage, you're making $7/hr more than FO's at PSA, you're already making the same as a 5 year FO at Colgan. Am I wrong? Yes or no?

Further. It's a 2 year contract you can come out of with Turbine PIC.

If you want to change industry first and second year FO pay, contact your union reps. Unions are the ones who take the payroll allocation given by the company and parse it into scale. The company only approves the proposal. There comes a time when you have to realize the crappy situation the airlines have turned into and try finding the silver lining in this "Fantasy Island"-like reality.

What. Am I making too much sense to illicit anything more than nebulous one-liners?

Nope. Have fun making that pay. Never made that low flying. Have fun building Turbine time buddy. I am assuming you did not have to PFT.

Although, if that IAH flying ever comes along...
Call it rumor, guessing, hunch or w/e you want but I bet you will see it in the spring of 2013.

You sound silly and naive because you are comparing CA pay with FO pay and justifying the low CA pay by saying "it's more than FO pay I would get if I was at XXX regional."

Isnt even apples and oranges... Apples and Volkswagen's, maybe

No you sound silly because you're missing the point. I'm comparing dollars to dollars in the career-years where every last one counts. I'm not saying this is better, I'm not saying it's worse. What I'm saying is, if you find yourself having to apply to Silver at least you have that to comfort "the blow".
