For Senior captains with only a couple of years before retirement is this awesome because it will be a big boost for their retirement checks. I think their retirement checks are based off there last 2-3 years W2! Boost that baby up before retirement.

Yes, I heard that also. Didn't he sell his vacation in also. I thought the company was paying more for vacation if you were willing to sell it.

Dang. that's some serious kieska being made. At least there's one benefit to these rough schedules.

You do realize that these actions undermine the entire regional airline group, don't you?

If people would stop doing stupid things like this, you would all be paid more and would all benefit as a result.

They won't raise your pay across the board if they don't have to. Let them cancel flights. It is their fault that this is happening, why are you bailing them out?

hahahahah, Let's go back in history and talk about the long list of things that have undermined the regionals. The first place to look is ALPA and then it just goes from there. Piedmont is the least of the problems.

Piedmont folks cashing in triple pay might be like Ho'ing it but damn that's high dollar ho'ing it. Friend of mine was making 1,000 dollars a day to do a 4 day trip. Not bad at all.

Meh, I disagree. The best way to prove the point is to make them pay up big time right now Follow the money. They already know there is a problem when Dash 8 and E145 pilots are being paid like some of their mainline Airbus and E190 pilots. The fact that we are cashing out just confirms that if they won't pay more at the outset contractually, they will indeed pay much more in the end to run the operation. I was just assigned another trip from the kitty...flying right seat no less! Time to collect again...

I completely respect your choice and everyone has their reasons. Some of us are simply taking advantage of the opportunity to get ahead somewhat.
