When bonuses are taken into account of hourly rates, yes... Otherwise the contract is not at the bottom of the list. Overall compensation isn't less than other comparable regionals. All I know is I made good money last year flying a 50 seat RJ around, without trying very hard. We have to keep in perspective we are comparing ourselves to others flying much larger aircraft for approximately the same or less per hour (a regional is a regional is a regional, I get it). I would love to make more per hour and for these bonuses to not only be for this year, but our MEC decided to give that up (which we could talk about for DAYS)... I will just leave it at that. Let's keep our heads up and fight for better rates and a better overall contract. We have a good reputation in the industry for a reason, let continue to uphold that and settle for nothing less.

I know the rates aren't industry leading anymore, I'm just pointing out his general statements from the past. I have lurked for a long time and just rolled my eyes over and over at his and other's remarks. Maybe it's time to log out and just forget this forum BS! Haha

You told me I should "try thinking outside the box, or maybe just check the box in this case". You were wrong, but just can't admit it. You're not much better than billyho.

Just saying. I totally called the ORD flying. I was right about the UAL "distressed carrier" nonsense. This time it feels good being right. Congrats again everyone!

I'm so glad for those on property as many are dear friends and they deserve stability... I have it too.

Thanks Fodhopper. Hope all's well at 9E

I'm sure AA footed the bill to paint the planes the first time, and I'm sure United will foot the bill to paint the planes this time.
