Captains being hired off the street. Unfreakin believable. So how is your on time and other stats? Obviously, with half being ****ed off I'd figure things are in turtle mode over there. BTW, those accepting off the street Captain positions clealry know they ae a pawn in this deal and in my book are borderline scabs to the industry at least in mindset. They'd be the first one's *****in if things were reversed.

Look at it this way. A driver driving a bus gets paid less than a guy driving a limo, even though the bus driver carries more people.

And you consider that pos CRJ a limo????? lol......
But the CRJ should pay more because it has two fans in the back, even though you cant get more than 500ft/min in the flight levels....
If it has more seats the captain deserves more pay... period!
