Southwest, FedEx, Delta, and Alaska have all hired in the last 5 years. Then you can take it places that may not be a good job for pilot A, but can be for pilot B due to different circumstances. Jetblue, Spirit, USAir, etc.
If you don't consider the first 4 to be "worth going to", maybe you should adjust your expectations. Or to put it another way, you need to "get on board".

Speaking for myself, those programs have enhanced the ease of scheduling and auditing pay.
As examples;
On leg by leg/block or better. Not getting paid the difference between the under block and the scheduled.
Not getting paid properly for an over block vs the scheduled.
Not getting paid properly on things like min report credit or DPM's properly.
Not getting paid for customs pay, nor international arrival duty off perdiem properly.
A pilot that was on airport standby that is supposed to get paid 4 hours for the 4 hour airport standby getting called out for a 2 hour turn, and only either the 2 hours showing as pay credit. OR the min day of 3.75 as opposed to the contractual 4 hours of pay.
Not getting paid properly when a trip was dropped for training.
Not getting paid properly for deadheads.
Now combine this with a pay claim submission NOT being answered/complied with/responded too in the contractual amount of time it's supposed to be.
Does it happen ALL day EVERY day to EVERY pilot? No, but if you were to ask ANY pilot if they've ANY of those example happen to them on a repetitive basis, you'd be hard pressed to find one that would tell you "NO".

Guess they really cocked that one up.
See the above. For some reason, they CAN'T seem to get it right. And yes, why it's so hard to plug in the CBA parameters is beyond us. Never mind a whole slew of scheduling issues and mistakes that get made over, and over again that we have to call them up to change.

See the above.
"Give us a year........." What the heck is ATL's (SGU's) definition of a year?
"we not always get it right but that doesn't mean we aren't trying". What is ATL's (SGU's) definition of trying?
