When negotiating, our MEC could either take QOL improvements or pay improvements. Not both. They took QOL (namely the SAP), knowing that the company would have to raise pay anyways. It payed off.
The 12/4 is a non-issue. New hire FO's are getting paid $40 immediately, along with a $20k sign on bonus and $10k per year retention bonus. We are finishing up the 2007 hires now with the flow, so the 12 isn't an issue at all.

Were you around in 2003 when RAH signed the 4 year FO pay scale ? 12/4 is a non issue now, but it will become the issue when economy slows down or PSA falls from the favorite. Pilots like you should not be the ones that negotiate a contract.
2007 hires are being sent to mainline right ? Guess what, you signed the same deal when Eagle and the rest of us was trying to hold our ground.
You are bunch of idiots and low level scum.

Obviously RON isn't the only factor in determining a base though since ORD and MIA only have 2 and PHL 0.
In terms of total daily departures, IAH is definitely near the top. For June, IAH is looking at 46 daily weekday departures, while CLT has 29, and DEN with 15. CLT has 1 RON and DEN 0.
For whatever it's worth, out of the top 10 daily departures, IAH and CLT are the only two cities that we don't have a base in.

The people in the HQ stopped using RON aircraft as a criteria to determine bases about year and half ago. That ship has sailed !!
