I guess it's a good thing I "cared" about FO pay
Some of you might know this already from another thread but this age 65 thing makes me think of this story.
I was jumpseating one day right after our (UPS) contract got signed. Well, the capt. was moaning and groaning about it and, after a brief conversation, says "You FOs should not be concerned about FO pay. You will be captains a lot longer than you will be FOs." I said "Sorry, but there is no guarantee of that. You never know what can happen. I've been working 2 jobs for 8 years now and I am trying to get established in life. I would like to make some money too."
Uh....
What???? Are you on crack????? I can't believe some of the crap some guys will actually say to people.
Anyways, I guess I'm that much more happy today that I cared about FO pay. LOL!

What do you expect from the "ME" generation. I have heard that BS too and agree with you 100%. Next contract I want even more $$$ since I will be stuck(oh sorry, thankful) to be an FO for 15-20 years. Hope things are well in ONT.
