The pilot shortage is here; they need you guys more than you need them.
Do the right thing for the profession and say no... When the next one says No too; they'll get the hint. Poverty food stamp wages are unacceptable.
What good are more planes when there is nobody to fly them.
Stop playing by their rules. The rules are changing; and they're trying for one last grab while everybody is scared.
Sounds like they're offering you a B scale for anybody under 12 year seniority. Heck, Eagles didn't effect anybody in property and they had guaranteed flow and more aircraft.
Your TA is even worse than what they offered Eagle. Talk about lowering the bar.
Grow a pair. Short term pain for long term gain.
Just the part about the B scale for under 12 year seniority...nothing changes other then the 4 year cap on FO's, which if we get 30-40 airplanes....we wont have any past that unless you bypass numerous times...so don't understand how its a B scale if pay doesn't change.
other than the 12 year cap and 4 year cap pay is the same, and we fly them at the negotiated rates in our current contract.
However, can PSA hold back people from moving to mainline?
Do you understand what a B scale us?
You're going to be having senior CA's frozen on 17 year pay; but junior CA's after them are capped at 12 year pay... and all FO's now being capped at 4 years...
You really don't understand a B scale at all do you?
