Do you think you'll be one of the guys that makes Year 20 Captain pay at a Legacy carrier someday?

Unfortunately the truth is very few of us will. And if you aren't hired on with one of the legacies in the next few years you likely won't either.

I've been at the airlines two years, never have had more than twelve days off in a month. I enjoy my job and am not complaining, but the only way to make decent money at the regionals is to work your tail off. For guys that commute and try to work that schedule, I can see how they would get burned out. Commuting is a choice I know.

[QUOTE=PilotLife4me;1830916][QUOTE=tom11011;1830907]

Lets all hope that the mainline pilots never let scope limits allow this big of an airplane, it belongs at the mainline. [QUOTE]

Don't worry Delta mgmt. will throw a couple bucks an hour at the Delta pilots in return for regionals flying these, and the pilots will cave like normal.

Lets put it this way....and notice my avatar when you read this. I have had some rough days with less pay. Now, so you're feelings aren't offended, I believe we are very highly trained and deserve more. Don't tell me how stressed you are though. This job consists of showing up on time doing the job we were trained for and going home.

Lots of people have served our country. I applaud you. It however doesn't give you the right to be a bully.

in fact, very few vets I know bring their service up in order to silence opposition like you do.

Everyone has an opinion. Agree to disagree.

Personally, I think this argument is so dumb I can't believe it has gone this many pages. You two are just having a urination contest.

His point is very valid for this argument. I'm sorry you think someone in the military saying "I had less days off, got paid less, and my life was more in danger" sounds like bullying. To me, saying I only get 14 days off and may only get get paid $200K in the future sounds like spoiled whining.

Not looking for an applause just putting things in perspective. Some people can't handle it. With that I'm done with the conversation.

Perspective? How dare you! I get my facts from hearsay. When I was in high school, I talked to a pilot who said he made half a mill to work 6 days a month. Anyone who tries to tell me different? LA
ALALALA!

The argument needs to be reframed from one of selling scope for more money to seniority preservation at mainline (more airplanes at mainline means seniority protection for mainline pilots).
