Scheduling troubles at Avantair?
#73
I am not sure about your pay guys but really in this climate a lot of pilots would kill for any of those schedules. I am going to a 15 on 13 off with a great company and I am very happy with that schedule. I have done all the mentioned schedules and then one other for the last five months...O(zero) on, no paycheck and everything off..think about that..having said that I held out so I would not be abused..

If I am forced to work 14% more time for the same pay......that is a PAY CUT.

Except that all things being equal in that situation, one's W2 didn't change...so no, it wasn't an actual reduction in compensation. Perhaps its just semantics (because I agree with you that more work for no additional compensation is concessionary in nature) but its an important distinction to make.

For everyone else it's a pay cut.

Typical corporate America...the CEO gets a nice raise while the pilots take a PAY CUT. I wonder if any of the other 300 employees who aren't pilots had to take a PAY CUT. Wasn't there a conference call today to discuss the new schedule?

Thanks for taking my response out of context Flex81. And I never said that I would do the job for cheaper. I was simply making a statement that if the company is hiring (supply and demand) that I would be glad to be part of that growth.
