Tony,
From what I know of your background you were at Skywest before you went to Lagos. Neither outfit have a union to my knowledge, so I won't hold against you the fact that you don't seem to understand that we as pilots get paid what we negotiate in our contracts.

Another part of my experience was local union president. Thanks for the info.
Edit for tiny bragging rights: twice voted in local union president, and once voted to SAPA at SkyWest (I won by one vote).

Sounds like a good idea...until the pilot has a heart attack and dies somewhere over the Atlantic en route to the US from Amsterdam, but come on...what are the chances of that happening? I mean, that would never happen, right??? Oh wait, crap.

I'm not advocating those positions. I'm stating them as (my view) of fact. Yes, they should be paid more. That's obvious. But thinking some regional will "step up" and hand over more money.... ain't gunna happen.

Who is going to be the first Regional Airline to sign a real contract with real pay now that more than 50% of all domestic flying is not done by the majors anymore? Will the regionals keep comparing each others contract and pay or will one of them man up and demand A LOT more money or else let the airline fold?

My opinion, this law won't change anything in the near term and only add 6-12 months on the long term.

It's happened in the past with regards to management wanted to give sign on bonuses to new hires.

1500 hour rule...
I'm not so sure the 1500 hour rule is going to change much of anything. Two days ago, I spoke to the director of the "fast track", 300-hour wonder school I went to. He told me that as is stands now with the information that's out there, he'll still be able to operate as a 300-hour program. I suspect the hacks in DC will put in some exclusions and waivers that will knock a lot of teeth out of the rule. But hey, who knows for sure, right?
