Hi. This is my first post. Have enjoyed reading all the news here for several months. This is my question. If you had 27 years seniority as an agent, and are now part time because of 9-11, and your base station is down to 4 mainline flights a day, and about 24 RJ's and Dash 8's. would you bid SRQ Mainline Express , reducing your pay down to $13.01 an hour, or stay Mainline at 20.30 an hour and hope for the best? By the looks of things, the customer service agent job is going the same way as the Travel Agent (dinosaur). I have always wanted to leave the snow belt and move to Florida, so this is my chance. I'm to young to retire. Do you think that the mainline express agents making $13 an hour will also take the 25% pay cut? If they do , then they will make only $9.75 an hour. At this rate, welfare is looking better. Does anyone know if you go from Mainline to Mainline Express, do you keep your 6 weeks vacation, sick bank, seniority, and S3 Boarding Priority Code? Thanks in advance for all your replies.
