For the question in regard to the MAA/MDA payscale on the Embraer 170/190. The MDA/MAA payscale is about 60% of group 4 pay in the pilots contract, with no longevity given to those who have been working this USAirways-Mainline operation for the past two years. The reason MDA/MAA is so much cheaper, is not just the pay rates under the America Eagle Contract, but also because managment and ALPA conspired to keep the pilots/FA's working there on first year pay under different working agreements than the dispatchers, managers, gate agents, and ground school instructors.

You will be reading about this is the press in the next couple months as the MDA/MAA pilots have hired outside council and will be taking both the company and the union to the boards over the issue.

So, for the company and ALPA to decide to do the right thing now, would be expensive in both back pay with longevity, and also failure/misrepresentation suits filed against ALPA.

ALL OR NONE.....

Awesome post wholesale!

One minor correction. The F/As did not go in at first year pay, they went in at "MAA" pay equivalent to the time they left mainline. If they were in thier fourth year at mainline when they were furloughed, they started at fourth year pay in the AEagle contract. However on return to mainline, the same flight attendant would still go in at four year pay, despite the year they worked in the E170 operation.

Best of luck to the MAA pilots and f/as!
