Considering when ours was negotiated I'd say we did very well. Our company is making money hand over fist so we'll see how the next set comes out. When it does I won't be waving it over your head.

You were basing your statements that we don't get a pay increase with an increase in seats as an FO. Guess what... You don't either. The $$$ amount you actually get paid as an FO to fly for a regional, per your argument, holds no ground and is a simple shot in the dark.. almost a post of panic as you've just realized you're ever bit the same as those you try and talk down to.

What's that? Beat a dead horse? That's cruel, I'll beat the wh0res. At least they can fight back.

I do agree with most of your "benefits" as you described them.... pay for smaller jets is never gonna be that of our larger brothers.. thats just facts.

TD makes a point...for our pay to go up...mainline pay will have to go up...when that happens ...it will follow. As for the "other" benefits .... I agree with that frustration to a point...I can tell you when I commuted years ago that I non-reved many times even when the JS was avail just not to have to be hassled by some of the mainline CA's... fwiw I was at AE back when TurboProps was all we flew ( Early 90's ) i commuted 4-5 trips a month to either JFK or MIA and it was just easier to pay the 4 bucks and non-rev. I almost never got hassled by other mainline CA's when i JS'd .. but AA guys about 30-40% of the time just simply wanted to belittle me so I paid the non-rev fee to avoid the hassle. So YES i understand that frustration all to well.

I really dont think we are all that far apart in views here it just seems that way sometimes.
