The guy was definately a real old school RDer. Asked me straight up what our Capts make and seemed disappointed that he was a couple of dollars and hour less as a 737 Capt.

Mostly, I was smiling and nodding my head as he talked for the 15 minutes to the hotel.

Frankly, I could care less about my companies pressures. I know my company makes money hand over fist and always has. It's funny they used to not want to compare us to the pax airlines during the last contract, since the pay was higher. Now, they are telling us we need to compare ourselves to other airline pilots in our expectations in regards to pay. A 180 degree turn in their position.

We'll do the best we can on the next contract to raise the bar.
