In the same "union" you have mainline pilots taking pay raises while regional pilots take pay cuts.
After moving from a regional up to mainline I can see what is so clearly driving all this. The old don't care about the young, and will never spend a dime of negotiating power to look out for the next generation for pilots.
Pulling the ladder up, one contract and scope concession at a time.
Shame on Moak, and shame on all of ALPA national for letting these events transpire.
ALPA's days are numbered. With Airways going the way of APA, Air Tran to SWAPA, Comair's shut down transferred to GoJet flying being "Teamsters", Skywest being the "super regional" ….the slippery slope keeps getting steeper.
Yeah. Shame on those DAL mainline guys for ratifying a contract that reduced the regional flying, established a block hour ratio that requires mainline to ALWAYS fly more than the regionals, and recaptures outsourced flying. And shame on LM for getting jobs back to a higher paying, better QOL pilot group.
