Just as dalpa blindly accepted DPJs 100,000 lb inclusion into the TA, you think they would have at least "thrown in" hotel rooms for new hires as a quid. There was a quid, right?
Yet another pulling up of the ladder one rung at a time.
Of course no single pay rate has gone up more since I was hired then the new hire pay rates and first 5 year rates. First year pay when I was hired was 1500 a month. It went to 1800 a month for a long time after. Senior Captains then made about 180,000 a year.
On 1 Jan 2013 first year pay is 66 an hour and second year 91 on the lowest paying equipment we operate. Second year pay in 86 was 36.00 an hour. Lets see, then 36 for year 2 and this contract 91. We really yanked the ladder up on the junior guys!!!
The senior pilots pay has soared compared to the bottom!!! NOT!!!
