You were hired to be a first officer than can fly as a Captain. You're dual qualified but you still fit at the very bottom of the list. You knew this going into it. You knew the risks. At the very least, most of the CQFOs I've talked to are spending half the time in the left seat. And even if you aren't, with the growth we have, you'll be a full captain fall.

In other news... APC is full of ding bat chime-ins that have nothing to do with anything this evening. Grab some corn.

Empty threats? I'm not threatening anything or anyone. I have simply been offered my old job back at full seniority. So if TSA won't pay me what they said they would, then it only makes financial sense for me to go back. It's quite simple.

Typical. The average time a street captain type hire lasts at a regional is 6 to 12 months. It's just amazing how you guys don't see the big picture. Not to mention if you guys do become captains you guys will be at the bottom for a while. If you're already *****ing now, you should quit because it won't get better for a few years.

Weren't you on another thread just talking about jumping ship from your regional?

Referring to people who are threatening to quit in hopes that the place will collapse behind them, which is ridiculous. It's real simple: Trans States will staff all the planes it can. What it can't staff will probably go directly back to Xjet. This regional model will not sustain itself for too much longer. I kind of hope United screws themselves. They contract out half their flying to regional jets when they should be flying it themselves.

Haha guys like you are so funny. You read these posts and were like "I'm gonna tell these guys they are getting what they deserve" because some how whatever you are doing is a much more noble and correct path. You have never tried to better your career position because you stand for some cause right? you would never take any risks because you always think of the majority and not yourself. Pilots wishing others Mis-fortune. It's like being negative for the sake of being negative. Nobody wants your sympathy dude.

That's one of the issues but is more of a side point.
-not paying us when we sit CA reserve (and no one in payroll has a clue)
-not being able to bid an CA open time (which is ridiculous because it's based on seniority so we aren't taking it from any other senior CA)(this just happened yesterday and were still trying to find out why, we were told that the Union had no idea bout)
-when we DH or do a training event as a CA we are payed at a blended rate instead of CA rate.
-Using junior CQFO's as CA when the FO is a senior CQFO (this is happening a lot and scheduling is tone deaf to it. (this is probably the most common)
-We were told that when sitting AR1/2 (airport reserve) that we are at a blended rate and when we get used as CA it changes to CA rates for the whole period...that hasn't happened.
and the MOU is suppose to dispel and clarify all of this...
