And no you shouldn't go by the apc pay scale. Our contract is fine but just sucks we couldn't hold the line.
Honest question, I read a lot of people here defending PSA and its current contract saying how much money you make and how things are good because of upwards progression, pay, QOL, security, etc, etc. If that's all true why does management want to break the contract of other regional's, and the model being PSA and/or Pinnacle? Management specifically uses the names of the those two companies in how they want to arrange and model our contracts to mirror yours.
Now it's obvious why they all want the costs of Pinnacle, but PSA is mentioned in the same breath. The reason why Envoy is having the problems they are having is because of the cost structure PSA has, due to the contract you recently voted in. That comes right from management and our MEC. I would argue that Envoy captains make was much as anyone at PSA or elsewhere especially when scheduling is offering 1.5 on a regular basis, not to mention the unblocking of all OT for FO's and captians.
I'm not trying to start a whole new war between PSA and Envoy, but if your contract is NOT concessionary why would management want to make our contracts like yours? And to tell you the truth I don't know a lot about your contract so I really am asking a serious question.
