And the Delta pilots?
January 1st, 2014 a 3% increase on our bankruptcy pay. Coupled with a 33% reduction in profit sharing and increased health care costs.
Is that a raise or a pay cut?
Has Captain Moak ever uttered a word about restoration? Has he ever mentioned the record profits? The dividends? The stock buy back?
With no accounting for inflation we still make far less than the pay rates that are a decade old.
What is a union for?
How is Captain Moak's pay?
How is his pension?
They are golden. He is very adept at taking care of himself.
How does he look in the mirror when he signs deals where regional first officers flying $20 million dollar jets are making $20,000 a year?
The emperor truly has no clothes.
But he does have is hat.
To answer your questions with one answer....ALPA National's approach is to substitute pay increases, QOL improvements, and contractual restorations with promises of mainline jobs and aircraft orders.
Promises and innuendo are the cheapest bargaining chips because they cost very little and are rarely held to be accountable.
ALPA may endorse these POS regional contracts, but ultimately we, the pilots, are the ones who need to stop passing them.
