This offer is more than a slap in the face to our profession. It will take us from a tolerable position to being right on the leading edge of that "race to the bottom" that ALPA continues to talk about.
$1.60 per diem? Are you joking?
No IAI until 2015?
Reserve days in hard lines?
50% for deadhead?
Decreased guarantee?
No real increase in pay to fly larger aircraft?
I don't want to do mainline flying for regional pay. I don't want to get stuck at a regional for the rest of my life either.
This is a step backward and I for one will not support it in any way, shape or form. I'd rather take my chances with the judge.
