It's like you're just upset because someone else is happy. If RAH or SKYW came out tomorrow and announced a new contract with a 20% pay increase instead of congratulating them you'd sit there and say it happened because they lowballed someone.

The median would be about 2 years but the average is a little lopsided because we have increased the group by 40% in the last 2 years

I have been at Colgan for almost 2 years and I have 52% of the group below me because of the big Q hiring spree. I am for a merged list with fences so that all of us FO's who have waited can get their upgrade and furture FO's will have the opportunity to fly whatever aircraft they can hold down the road. 2-3 year fence would be great.
