I an an ATL guy and I would agree with you that there are many guys, and the few gals, here that think 'you legacy Xjet folk' want $60/hr in the right seat. I believe, as it has been discussed before, that it's simply lack of communication. Hearing everything through the grape vine is a horrible way to learn what the other guy wants.
It's all about that 'vocal minority' that screws everything up for the more rational I suppose...
I simply want what's fair. Some kind of pay increase to cover AT LEAST inflation with both contracts taken into account. I guess we will see what the MEC agrees to soon or later and vote.

I know that wherever it go (if i get to go) there will be plenty of folks who are unhappy with certain aspects (or most aspects) i dont typically fall victim to other peoples feelings (good or bad) I listen to what they have and dont presume to tell them theyre wrong for thinking that.

The difference is that some of these issues that make folks unhappy are based in fact (ala Mesa and RAH) whereas some of these 'issues' are creations of egos and resentment at failed aspirations. I love the "I coulda gone to XYZ Airlines" guys. If you coulda and shoulda then you WOULDA!
100% agree....
well I certainly know that i will start as a no-name bottom feeder and keep my desires about the future within due bounds. No entitlement needed. If i get there one day...AWESOME....if not...oh well.

Haha!
Unfortunately I fly with quite a few lifers that share none of my enthusiasm for bettering our contract. When I talk gains they reference CT or BH preaching how competitive the industry is and how we need to get our costs in line. I have no idea how common this mentality is, just my experience the last year or so.

I would love a great contract, but I also realize that the industry leading wages usually don't last long, or you get to see your flying go to other places. Let's be realistic and get something better, perhaps not what I hear all these xjet guys want though. I'm not a lifer, but 6 years is enough as an FO I don't care what regional your at. We are all basically contract workers, when u get to be the most expensive contractor, guess what..your customer goes elsewhere.

Best quote yet. Hand them out to freezingflykid and all the other "almost 3 year FO"s. Seems to be a common trend among them.
I think our management has them right where they want them, drinking the Kol-aid.
