My question, these pilots seem to have little expectation. Is there any pro ALPA pilots here who want less than what equal pay for equal work with Southwest pilots? Are there any pro ALPA pilots who want 88/9 pay below SWA 717 pay? Any willing to talk about what they think is fair to demand?
Well, I'm not a pro alpa pilot, but I am a pilot.
Scope: Scope recapture, sunsets all in writing and firm. No open ended AK codeshare, quids in place for mainline growth. All int'l codeshare brings at least a 1 for 1 equivalent seat miles to DAL.
Pay: swa plus for the smallest jet in our fleet graduated upward. 415c limit in 401k's for every pilot making $125k plus, greenslips pay double, GSWC pays trip drop plus double trip flown. All flying over ALV pays 1.5. Specific holidays (Christmas, Tgiving, supebowl, etc.) pay double. 6.25 hrs per duty day.
Reserve: 5 hrs credit for each s/c. 6 s/c max per rolling 30 day period, reserves flying receive trip/duty rig guarantees, 24 off in seven at home (not base) not hotel. s/c fully biddable.
Vacation: identical to fedex.
I've mixed sections a little, but it was to put related things where they share a theme.
