Appear to have fallen off. Sitting here at the gate waiting for the fourth regional leg in a row to cancel. I can't remember the last time I got where I was going when I expected to get there (when a regional was involved). How long can this go on? The feed system must be absolute bedlam.

Which major airline partner system is this?

I haven't really spent a whole lot of time non-revving on regionals lately but I haven't really had any deadheads or my own legs get too crazy in recent memory.

First year pay doesn't exist almost anywhere anymore. My shop, republic, commutair, ExpressJet and I'm sure others have all ditched the original first year pay.

While I appreciate the sentiment and you are indeed correct, the fact remains that those at the regional level are not compensated at a level that they deserve to be. " You get what you pay for" is the point I think he was trying to make.
 
What's the average first year FO bringing home now at Compass / Republic / Commutair / etc?

Has SkyWest joined the party and unionized yet?

$37. An hour, profit sharing, and other benefits including full deadhead and cancellation pay. I'd say SkyWest joined the party. Which is what he was referring too, you know, first year pay.

I am staunchly pro labor and likely agree on the benefits of representation, but argue your case as opposed to repeat the same tired flippant nonsense. Really, I've seen you make some strong adult arguments and reasoned support for a union drive, and there are people at SkyWest, more and more, who would listen. Don't hurt their cause by poorly representing ALPA.

From my understanding the only reason why Skywest got the first year pay up recently was when XJT/ASA approved their extensions management told SAPA they were going to increase the rates and SAPA agreed.

If the pay rate increases were given because of what ASA/XJT did then it proves Skywest is showing up uninvited to the party and is standing in line first for the cake.
