Ok, I'll give on 4-A-3, LOA 10, and MOU 26. Those...I can live without.

I was banking money as a regional pilot and we made far less than you guys were this last decade. What the heck were you doing going further into debt? Lemme gue$$... Too many folks living beyond their means. I fly with a bunch of FOs that were wildly in over their heads. $1000/mo Tesla payments. $500,000 McMansions.

Because if you are, I SERIOUSLY doubt we have many new hires here that actually got that much. Sure, maybe a few.
But to think FO's that came from the regionals were rolling in the cash due to the bonus structure is nothing more than complete ignorance.

Not a strange thing to say at all. There are still many sections that we have not recovered from bankruptcy. For example, we had an opportunity to improve some reserve rules--which are straight from Glenn, but we chose other areas to focus on. Relentless short call anyone?
Just to name a few:
Credit for reserves on a trip
Training pay per day,
Vacation pay per day,
Myriad of other work rules....
At one point, Mako had a great list.
I had some hope of fixing these in our current contract talks. My glass seems to have a leak in it. It started half full.

Chuck, try to keep up. This is a United forum. The FOs with Teslas are at United. I’m sure they were just as buried in debt at the regionals living far above their means. That doesn’t mean I have to listen and commiserate with their inability to delay gratification. Unfortunately these broke jokers get a vote.
By the way a $500,000 house is a dump in many west coast cities. Complete fixer or tear down. It’s also a very modest purchase price on $200k+ per year.

what about owning a Tesla is living beyond your means as a Legacy FO? Most of the FOs I know make 200-300k. FOs make more now than Captains did in 2013. This pandemic is a once in a century event that has devastated our economy.
