That posting obviously drew some fire.
Some years ago the pilots at my airlines regional had stickers on their kitbags that said: 80/80/80, meaning if management was willing to give them the mainlines DC9-80's they would fly them for 80 000 US. a year at an 80 hour month. Mainline pilots drew 175000 US. a year at 75 hours. As pilots, we are our own worst enemies. I bet the whole Crossair seniority list is salivating at the bit to be able to fly an MD11 at some rediculous rate. If LX is so well managed then they can afford to pay better. Demand that they do.
