Then I read THIS:

[ QUOTE ]
Mesa, which operates as US Airways Express in the Midwest and East, also plans to ask its US Airways Express employees to voluntarily defer up to 23 percent of their salaries.

WTF!??!?

My god........Mesa asking it's people to defer 23% of their already pissant salaries?

How freaking low can the bar be lowered by Mesa's management?

Re: U.S. Air & Pilots Reach A Deal

that's ridiculous! they'd all be working for free then! not to mention it would put them back where they started BEFORE the won the increase!

US Air doesn't OWN Mesa does it? if not, then Mesa shouldn't be asking for a salary concession!
 
Rumor has it the new USAir 737s CAPT scale tops out lower then CHQs E170 Scale... So much for those who wanted to go to the majors for higher paying jobs.

Yeah, that's about the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while. But hey, 23% of nothing isn't much.....

Your point is clear now. Looked like a general statement regarding majors no longer reflect best pay scales, for the most part. Which of course, they do. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

It has started with USAir, and I hope it stops there, but no one can say.

PS. I think youd be surprised to know that there actually have been Pilots who have come to the regionals via j4j who have subsequently resigned their seniority numbers at the majors by choice.

You mean the bar coming down from the top?
 
Im not blaming anyone, and they would be forced to do it one way or the other. But yes, and I think there will be a trickle down effect to all carriers at all levels.

Time will definately tell. You could very well be right that a "new standard" is being set....... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
 
...Although I'd gladly fly for the airlines, corporate/freight seem to be looking better every day....
 
Including my 2.5% raise to $20.88 an hour, I will be off to Philly myself once I finish up 0.2 hours of IOE to work for $16.08. Anyone have a refrigerator box I can have?

Just kidding the 23% pay cut doesn't apply to pilots because I personally would find something to stick up someone's...

The information we have at this time indicates that management directly related to USAirways will take the pay cut.

The pilots taking the pay cut however does prove to be a step in the right direction for me not being furloughed.
