I guess you're incapable of a fruitful conversation about the topic. You prefer attempting to show all your “Mightier Than Thou” self.
Get a life.

To me it was no victory at all. Just step one to lower ourselves to compete with people who fly bigger planes for 50 seat wages.

The TA that you speak of did not give us a raise. Maybe this is a misconception around the industry. It only extended our current contract for 2 more years giving us contractual raises each of those years. It also cleared up some language problems in the contract and added a few reserve rules.

I'm certain you feel the same.

I am unfamiliar with the language, but several XJT pilots on this forum are making out to be a great victory. And boast about their “Higher Than Thou Pay.” I sick of arguing about who has the bigger sword, I just want healthy conversation about the original topics and the future.

I know I hear them around the crew room saying the same things. I can not see how this is a victory for us. Extanding a contract is not a victory except if the alternative was to take a pay cut, which wasn't even mentioned to us. Though I am happy that our pay is near the top, no one should be bragging about their pay at a regional. We are all being taken advantage of for "our love of flying". Will it ever end? Since it has been going on forever I will guess no.

Sure I guess you have all the time in the world to fret over every little word but I do have a life. I multitask while responding to your ignorance.

they are arrogant becuase they will be flying those super big CRJ900's but when the thrill of flying that ****ty aircraft has gone away they will be left with a MESA type QOL as well as MESA pay, I feel SKYWEST is going sown the shi*** and the pilots are leading the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally I feel XJet pilots are underpaid and have a horrible quality of life...you would have to pay me $200K+ (I am dead serious here) to work in the eastern US, and how can someone whose domicile choices are EWR, IAH, and CLE even use the phrase "QOL" in a sentence???? You work in a cesspool! Do you live there too?
