Just curious, I flew the Metro II's and III's, was the IV a corporate version?
I thought the Merlin was the corporate version? Or is the Merlin the metro IV? Or are they just different aircraft?

I'm an ATL CRJ FO and during my LOE yesterday, my instructor said what the ASA training department is being told is hiring is stopping on the ERJ side and continuing on the CRJ side.

We all know we will never be paid anything close to what we are worth, my huge beef is the pay disparity between seats. I get what he is saying and do agree but both are equally responsible for the safe completion of the flight. There is no reason for greater than a 30% difference and even that is on the high side. First year AT LEAST has to be a living wage!

You are right and wrong. You're right that both pilots are responsible for the safety of the flight and that first year pay needs to at least be livable, however the left seat has a much larger responsibility for everything. His (or her) pay should be significantly higher.

But when the captain screws up I also get violated while making enough to qualify for food stamps and medicaid. Ok I propose that if you want to keep 60-70% higher wages than the hired help, then the captain should be the only one to get violations. Much larger responsibilities comes much larger consequences.

I do have a huge respect for the position and the people that can fill it well however there is a reason 2 of us are up there.
