That's my feel talking to pilots. You can try to talk about SWA and Fedex but some don't care. "I don't want to fly all night!" um, even on the 88 I seem to be landing at 1-3am lately.
"I don't want to fly SWA trips. It's too much. I come here, I want 1-2 legs a day, I want long overnights so I can drink some beer. I mean those guys do like 20 hour 3 days! That's stupid."
I'll keep fighting but 55% at a min if they promise 15% raise, that's my sad bet.
I think you are wrong. I hope you are wrong. I will say if you are right expectations will have been managed and my SWA buddies will just have to keep laughing at my pay. Notice how no one ever said much about the contract comparison? Carefully crafted to provide no real data and definitely not show we have significant disadvantages in compensation across the board.
