Everyone, the scare tactics are working. It's time to draw a hard line in the sand.
Do you really think that $80/hour for a captain and $40/hour for an FO really changes the bottom line that much when operating costs on average are around $3500/hour!
Pinchanickled, if you were making $75K to $120k per year, would you be so eager to give that up for the sake of the industry and the good of other pilots? Just curious, an honest yes or no answer please with an explanation if you dont mind. Thanks
I dont make that much. Im in the senior FO payscale. but it is better than the alternative of starting over at $18K.
Also, in all sincerity, could you explain how it will benefit the industry when our airplanes go to a carrier that will fly them for less than we can, even with our concessionary TA? Keep in mind that three other carriers have already bid for our flying in the event the TA doesnt pass and they are cheaper than us with our TA.
Where is the support for 9E for keeping our planes out of the hands of the lowest bidder? Once again, Im just curious.
You guys still crack me up
