Again....please use some sense here.......I believe that you are smarter than you come off here on this forum. I don't believe that there is a guy on the property at Focus that has been there for more than three years, hence the reason for the 5 year pay scale. If, at some point, if in the next few years there are 6 or 7 year guys at Focus still on a five year payscale, then you can pop off with your rhetoric. By the way I believe your RJ replacing mainline flying is what started "lowering the bar" in regards to airline pay rates..........not the supplementals.

I want to see what a 70K a year 747 scumbag looks like. Anybody got a sketch? If only people would have some dignity. 70K to fly a 747, unbelievable. To those trying to better their company now, I've got a better idea, how bout you quit and go to a place that's already acceptable.

Thanks for the info there spacemankey.
No, I was not getting impatient. There had been so many new threads started that my question had ben pushed to the second page. I thought that you had probably missed it since you had posted at least a half a dozen times and hadn't responded.
"Now mrvmo I realize that you are new to this forum (currently showing 7 posts) and haven't shown any indication of position of qualifications (so by your statements I'm guessing the answer is not much... probably a college student, PPL with a big mouth) but please..."
Your guessing is way off the mark here. I know Mrvmo and he is more than qualified to be here and post.
Mrvmo, congrates on the new job. Let us know what equipment you will be on.

Just to set the record straight.. The initial cadre at FA came in on 3rd year pay so many will be hitting 5 year pay in the spring. There is no way possible u can compare a 17 year RJ Capt to a 5 year "startup" payscale. Compare 1 through 5th with Kalitta, Evergreen, Southern, TWinds, Cargo360, Polar, Atlas. I would gather that FA is better than all except Atlas. I can almost guarantee u when they do publish a 17 year payscale it will be well above 17 year RJ pay but since they are only at year two with the majority of the crewmembers you may have to wait awhile. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!DMF.

I love how some of the RJ newbies like calling guys at the supplementals names and somehow coming to the conclusion that we are lowering the bar.
Although the international supplementals' might not be what life is like at the majors, it still beats being at the commuters. I'll take my 2 weeks off, more catering than I could possibly eat, flying one leg every 3 days, collecting my hotel and airline points, and my per diem check that is larger than their monthly pay check and continue to quitely keep my secret while they fly the 8+ legs a day with min rest.

Sounds a lil disgruntled, provide him with facts and he retorts with "still a bottom feeder." Educate urself young man before you come on here a bash a whole group of aviators that are out there everyday flying in some of the most hostile environments with antiquated equipment, no logistical support, and where command decisions are being made in the cockpit and not by a dispatcher sitting in sunny PHX. While ur flying around in ur shiny lil dildo jet with all the pretty lil TV screens and computers to keep ur blueside up and being told to keep ur hands off the controls by a Captain that just started shaving a year ago, we are out there discecting readbacks from controllers that sound like they are talking through coffee cans and strings and their command of the english language is about as well as the knowledge that you display about the industry that you have chosen to profess. So next time you sit down after one of those "LONG" trips to play ur "PLAYSTATION 2" with your lil brother when you should be out procreating the human race, just remember some supp pilot is down in Wanchai having a cold one and a hot one, and he will make sure ur new "Playstation 3" is there for you when you run down from your bedroom (of course in ur parents home) to see what "Santa"(oops I mean,Evergreen, Kalitta, Southern, Twinds, 360, Atlas, Polar, Gemini, Focus, World) has left you under the XMAS tree.
