When I see him in Ops, he always has a smile on his face.

And clearly your priority is to harm our bargaining position. Well done champ.

How short the pilot memory is. AA was a failed carrier, what 5 years ago? Failed as in bankrupt.
Things change quickly. I have faith in our negotiating committee, I even have faith in our management team to stay profitable. That conbination leads me to believe we're in a good position for a fair contract....(in way less than 5 years).

The old man (52 years) in my newhire class at United 18 months ago now sits 50% in his base with weekends off/all Hawaii flying, and will now clock this payscale on the 737-800/900 in the new year (with additional 3% raises going forward).

130K is over twice the median income in the US. Yep, I get it: responsible for people's lives. So is the guy that welded the hull together on the cruise ship. Well trained? Highly educated? So are physicians assistants that make 70-100K and work 40-50 hrs a week. Perspective.

Man after reading this thread I definitely feel like I goofed up coming to JB.
Should've stuck it out at my regional that only had 2 years left on its contract flying or better yet go to Spirit or Frontier to wait for my impending call from the legacies. Because obviously life at Spirit and Frontier is SO much better. (Sarcasm)

We should never be comparing ourselves to anyone other than airline pilots. So we earn in the top 5% -- we absolutely deserve it. How many doctors do you know that rationalize their pay like that? How about Wall Street analysts who are thinking of asking for a raise: "You know, I make $800,000/year. My colleagues across the street at Goldman out-earn me by 20% but most Americans make $65K so I'll just grin and bear it." GMAFB, they get what they negotiate and what the market will bear. They don't have a moment's remorse. No equivocation, they get as much as they can.
We should have the same mindset.
Goodluck to all my jetBlue brothers.
