Correct, but isn't scope near or maxed out on large RJ's??? I know a lot can change from now to 2017 but I wouldn't get my hopes up or look forward to flying an MRJ. Besides, there's still crap load of testing, FAA approval, training syllabuses ect... Before I'd start bringing up payrates on an AC that hasn't passed the "sniff" test yet.

So this guy should choose TSA today because he might top out as a captain 12 years from now?

You speculating about the MRJ is that same thing you complained about like one sentence prior. That thing isn't on your property. It may never be, or it might......Does that sound familiar?

Honestly why are you so hostile about this?

No one is acting this way towards you but yet you continue to bristle.

What's your deal?

My understanding is that the only company that currently has anything even close to resembling what we have is Horizon.

A few places have "line improvement." It's not the same.

As far as the other language, well that is scheduled for arbitration here in a month or so.

That language makes your 150% for open time pickup pale in comparison. The company doesn't have to designate anything(although it is an option) for us to get 150%.....WITHOUT losing days off.

This could of course become a moot point if we lose the arbitration.

We get 150% for all open time picked up. Doesn't matter if its on a day off or not.

Scope issues have been worked out for the 70 seater.

You brought up the fact that the payrates are simliliar till you hit the cap. And yes if pay rates are a big consideration for you, to plan on being out of a regional airline in xxx years or upgrading in xxx years is very naive based on the last 15 years.
