I was disappointed the new guy backed down so quickly.

And we wonder why we can never get improvements. We have guys here that feel it is there responsibility to help not only SkyWest save money (that they will lavishly spend on executives) but to also help Delta save money. Heaven forbid that you actually pay someone to fly a jet full of 90 people!
Funny thing is that I would've been content to live in base and make 120K. But if I am going to be forced to be away from my family for 15-17 days per month, I may as well be doing it as an FO at mainline. I am not going to commute back east to be a lineholder CA and I sure as hell am not going to go back to reserve on the West Coast. Lots of people in my class that took the upgrade in MSP and ORD are regretting it. 6 days away from home and then being back home for 1-2 days is getting old apparently.

They'd happily fly 747's for RJ wages, but complain about flying getting sent to other regional airlines willing to do it for less. Boasting about making 65k. Haha. What a freaking joke.

He was a senior FO and great with PBS, it's a lot harder than most think to make that too.

Just say economies of scale in every sentence and you'll be ready to accept the 747's here.

I actually feel bad for those guys. Delusional. Salivating at dreams of 190s. They don't realize they are in the minority on that issue. TC's thin treat of burning bridges because he knows a CP at FEDEX....sad. Any good friend would be quick with the back hand for even talking about relaxing scope.
