411A, it depends on where you stand. Or better yet, stand your ground. Senior Captains, who at the same time as being in command, also have to act as instructors for non-seasoned, low-timers who have paid their way (talking money, not sweat and tears and sleepless nights etc) to the F/O position DESERVE much more pay than they dare ask for. A lot of these Captains at airlines which hire 250 hour pay-your-way pilots effectively act as single-pilot operators in multipilot aircraft. They work, maybe not double, but at times close to it.
Precisely correct.
Senior Captains/Instructors/Check Captains absolutely deserve higher pay...and they get it.
Same for senior line Captains
Regular line Captains as well.
Senior First Officers, too.
That leaves us with the junior FD crew, the new First Officers. Perhaps the most vocal here on PPRuNe.
My suggestion...consider yourselves lucky to have a job at all, never mind the pay...such as it might be.
A simple call to the HR department at your airline will no doubt produce at least half a dozen applicants to take your job.
Yeah, it's a tough 'ole world, out there...like it or lump it.
