From: the correct seat
Two things. First, there is EVERY reason why an RJ captain should make 100K+ per year. Every business man will tell you that you are worth what people are willing to pay you. No more, no less. It's all about negotiations, either singly or as a group. That's just the way it is. Can we continue to make that kind of money? Who knows. Maybe not. But, worth it? Yes.

For the responsibility the CA has, he/she should get paid well in excess of 100k, never mind that it's a CRJ. I also believe first year pay should be in the 40k range- increasing to 60k by year 2...but that would be in a perfect world.
Out of curiosity, which seat are you in, and what do you think you SHOULD be paid?

From: 1st year pay for the 3rd time
That right there was pretty damn funny, I don't care who you. Now off to pre-flight that damn ATR. I'm sure it's leaking something.
Most of the newhires won't be able to vote on this TA.
I also don't care what the spreadsheet says about minimum fleet guarantees. Take it from a former Comair guy, what you need are minimum block hour guarantees. Otherwise you could see your minimum fleet parked right outside the crew room windows with no plans to fly them.

I just have to wave the BS flag here. The best I could do breaking my butt with a good chuck of OT and playing the loopholes in the contract was about 125K/year as a topped-out captain @ 18 year pay. I didn't commute and still had a life. Talked to even a few guys that made more then me, but they also flew OT, did IOE and one was the mother of all scammers and made over 170K.
You say you're doing 140K with NO OT ?
Sorry, I just can't buy that.
