So the rest of the contract remains the same from the past few years?
Yes, but the difference in pay is actually a little less due to an increase in our blended rate....The FO pay will probably be the same. I think the captain pay will be around 90. We will also receive a 1%/year increase so by the end the captain rate will be close to caught up.
But........We also took a 7% increase in medical costs over time.
Also if you interview twice at airways and dont make it your pay is frozen at current longevity. Same if you decide not to apply to airways. This is by far the worst part of the agreement IMO.
Airways has "sole discretion" while deciding if PSA has qualified applicants at any given time and their obligation to hire us will be met if they decide no one is.
Lastly, there is nothing that guarantees these acft are actually growth.
So it's a lot worse than what you posted.
