So the company is saving money on hotels for us in FLL, saving on per diem, able sell more seats to passengers with less deadhead flights for us to go to FLL, saving money on paper and toner for the release (much more than you might think), saving money on people to work in the classroom, and they still want more? No thanks. 160-740 per year, per pilot lost so they can save themselves money? I must be missing something here. I hope our union is smarter than this joke of an offer, and I hope the individual who mentioned this to me was not seriously considering it.
Of course management wants something for nothing! I'll keep my paper charts and my larger paycheck.
Give nothing. I just don't understand why this is even discuss anywhere. What's next, we get the "cool" tablets and we get reimbursed on our checks, and pay taxes on top of it.
2 out 3 days home study, so they can save money, and we are to give UP 4 hrs. Kiss my 30 lbs kit bag.
