What are you talking about!?! I will be making almost $30K this year. Besides, I don't do it for the money I do it for the love of flying

Says the guy flying the E175 at Compass, which has FO rates marginally better than those in the 6+ year old contract RAH pilots are working under and CA rates that are 5%+ lower than RAH?

Wow, how ignorant are you?

Maybe thats the problem,people assuming we would all be HAPPY,or feel "grateful" flying a 100 seat airplane for 80,000 grand a year in the left seat, and what........40,000.00 a year in the right seat

sad sad sad

Do me a favor and go look up Northwest DC-9 Payrates back in the 90's........... now take into consideration inflation, then come back here and tell me how i wish I was flying the 190......

Not good for Airways, but good for the soon to be combined RAH companies. With pilots on furlough from F9, YX and Republic, adding airplanes to the branded operation is good. Its very good news.

Now if the combined pilot groups can stand together, ditch this high school union and hammer out a very nice contract - the 190's are going to be a great thing here.

Failing on a successful merger, failing to overthrow a weak and worthless union and failing to force the company into industry standard (if not leading) wages on the 190 - will be a complete failure.

while you are at it look at what southwest was paying back then so you can clearly identify this downward spiral.

So when did I say Compass does not belong in the regional section? I am against our company getting more aircraft. I am in favor of our flying being moved to mainline. And I know if our company was purchasing 190's, it would not be for the better of our profession (thank god we are not). But thank you for reminding everyone that even with our joke of a lousy contract, all of our new hires and FO's still make more than yours. We already know your airline is in a contest to who can back-peddle the fastest, you did not have to point it out again.

I hope you can get over the ego and begin to better the profession for everyone with a little more unity.

I don't work for RAH...or any regional airline for that matter; nor do I have any "ego".

I do, however, get a chuckle out of the blatant hypocrisy of some people who make it a sport to throw stones at RAH when they themselves are living in the smallest of glass houses.

All this talk on APC about "bettering the profession" and "having more unity" and "raising the bar" surrounded by frequent blasting of RAH pilots for the sin of operating under a 6+ year old contract would be quite funny if it weren't so damn stupid and immature.
