Jerry knows how to keep his airline well oiled so he won't let his labor groups drain the company, but he will do what he can to make sure our pay is well above average with excellent QOL. I'm sure their new TA will mostly be QOL.
Even if you look at Mgmnt here at SKW, they aren't the highest paid. BUT they, unlike they’re labor groups, are below industry average. Jerry could pay himself more, after all he deserves it, but he is modest and want's his company to succeed. Unlike J.O.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Jerry cheerleader, I just give credit where credit is due.
Dude, seriously...
I have read your posts since way before I joined this board. You are the biggest cheerleader of any company I have ever seen. ****, you prob have a pic of Jerry in your wallet. That's cool. I'm glad you love your company and it's leader.
I'm glad everyone else in this board thinks they know what is going on at ASA... At least you guys think you know... Just because you know a guy that dates a flight att. that has a roommate that used to screw an ASA guy does not make you guys experts on our contract. Everyone seems to think all we want is a fat paycheck... Well, yes we do but that's not all. It seems other airlines have set the bar low. So, yes kiss the fat paycheck away. You guys bash our pay rates for FO's now. Well, no **** it sucks!!! We try to raise it and we get bashed for that... WTF? Should you not want us to raise the bar for the rest of you??? Brain washed by quality of life??? Crazy. That doesn't pay my rent. I don't have a daddy at Delta paying my bills. We have to make a contract that will last the next 4-5yrs plus 4-5yrs of negotiations as history shows. Way back when I was getting 19/hr I was doing ok. **** was cheaper...rent...gas..food...strippers...etc. Not now. So, yea we need money now plus quality of life. Not one or the other.
The "stole" was a joke... Notice I didn't focus on it and spend six lines on talking about it.
The "sorry guys" was for our Comair friends. It sucks I know.
This isn't my first job like most of you. I had to do a lot of ****ty jobs before I got here. I worked for my job and didn't buy it from some academy. So, I have a unique view of my job and how much compensation I deserve. Most of you went from 172 to jet. So yes 19-22/hr rules. When you have been here for years and you have a family that pay rate sucks...when your 9-5er friends make twice what you do for 1/2 the work...that sucks.
