Arent you at psa? Hate to break it to ya, but we suck too. Our travel benefits are the only good thing. Free, same priority as mainline, and priority on mainline jumpseat along with PDT. If we get hired at mainline, we keep our origional doh for non rev travel. Im hoping this doesnt change after the merger. How does amr charge for non rev?

And apparently willing to pay $40 to commute back and forth to work. Hence the reason there will never be a pilot shortage.

This really isn't about how little we make. Feel free to start a thread about that with all your career advice and ways to not make so little starting out in this career. I agree that we are very underpaid. I can't just not go to work and its illegal for me to suggest that we all don't go to work next month until we get paid more but I am open to ideas.

Less than 5 years it's only free if you are forced on the jumpseat - you cannot "ask" for the jumpseat to not get charged. Boarding is by checkin time and all AMR employees (AA and "L-Eagle") are the same priority. All other "Eagles/Connection" board a lower priority.

If this happens, it will mean $80+ a month for me to get to work. Do you know how easy it is for me to burn 10x that in fuel burns. Not to mention mtc write ups. They may take money out of my check, but they won't make any money on me.

And...I will not wrongfully deny a united pilot a jump seat, but there will be no more "making it work" to get one on. If the numbers don't work, they just don't work. No favors...unless you got $20 in your hand.
