The Q400 is a 74 seat aircraft. Here are the proposed pay rates. Now lets look at GoJets. They fly 66 seat aircraft.
Does anyone else see a problem here??? Lower than GoJet. We can talk about unions all we want, and how some people want Skywest to get a union, but Colgan needs one, and about $10/hr added to their pay rates.
Code:
Q400 CA Colgan CRJ-700 CA GoJet $53- 1st year $57 - 1st year $55- 2nd year $58 - 2nd year $56- 3rd year $60 - 3rd year $58- 4th year $62 - 4th year $60- 5th year $64 - 5th year Q400 FO Colgan CRJ-700 FO GoJet $21 - 1st year $23 - 1st year $26 - 2nd year $25 - 2nd year $27 - 3rd year $34 - 3rd year

Ouch! Flying those planes at those rates is an insult. Horizon pays $65 first-year pay for the Q400. I don't care if it's a prop or not, those Dash's take a helluva lot more piloting skill than any RJ out there. Take an RJ guy, put him back in a turbo-prop like this one, and it's learning to really "pilot a plane" all over again. These pay rates are absurd.....

Anybody at 9E wanna speculate on the new FO payrates?
I applied there in 2005 in hopes of getting lots of IND overnights, got an email to set up an interview the same day NWA declared bankruptcy, and never heard anything from them after that day.
You guys hauled my sorry butt IND to PHL/DCA many times, and I'm thankful for that...but I remember having one of your FOs tell me I just about made more first year than he did second year, and that was depressing. Here's to a BIG raise for you right-seaters!

We'll see. Have you heard anything recently about when the TA is supposed to come out? I would have to think by the end of the month. If I am not mistaken, NW is going to start pulling the 17 planes we got back at a rate of 2 per month is no contract was signed by 3/31. NW also fined 9E $2 million for all of the flights that have been getting cancelled. I can't imagine that Phil wants to get fined anymore.
