Are you serious? Why should I have to talk shyt about CJC?
Its my opinion that they take advantage of rest periods very similar to Mesa. Chuck would Rather have an extra 25 bucks in his pocket than to put us up in a hotel when we repo to another city.

Oh my god. There are millions of people who work MUCH MUCH harder than us and get paid not even a fraction of what an RJ captain makes. The difference is we're away from home so much and should be compensated accordingly.
Those numbers are rediculous.
More realistically...
Turbo Prop FO: 45K
Turbo Prop CA: 65K
RJ FO: 50K
RJ CA: 80K
737 FO: 100K
737 CA: 190K
747 FO: 150K
747 CA: 245K

Name one other business that the company has said to the bread winners, sorry but we are going to have to take half of the money we pay you and for good measure we will not be paying the retirement package you signed up for. Sure people people loose there jobs along the way but no other industry hoses people on this scale anywhere.
Frankly your numbers were really not that much different than hate2breakit2ya's sad that an RJ captain should make less than a 74 gear puller though.
Flame on!!!!!

I suggest reading "The World is Flat" sometime, and never, ever count on a retirement package surviving as long as you. That's why I like 401k's - they pay up front.

Redeye,
True dat. Even with a "traditional" retirement I'd still run an IRA and a brokerage account to store money away in besides a 401k - the one thing you can be pretty sure of is your retirement will pay less than you thought. And the 401k is much more labor intensive to get the maximum return.
My comment about the 401k was more to that if the company goes under, the money is yours and won't get taken away.
