Ok besides the flow which trust me noone cares about that much, this is a healthy pay rate for pdt pilots. It's 15+ dollars an hour for captains.

Captain year 10
Dash 8 - 100 $64 per hour
Dash 8 - 300 (which mdt based pilots don't even fly, our largest base) $69 per hour
Emb 175 $85 per hour

So keep on mind a mdt captain is looking at a 20 dollar an hour raise, just saying that's kinda hard to turn down, even with the detractors in the contract which are mostly negligible I mean lose 1/2 an hour per month of sick pay? Vacation is paid at 4.2 per hour? The only real questionable section is an increase in health care which is already set to increase every year in our current cba? Just wanted to throw this out there would you turn down a pay raise like that?, should we reject it and hope for another couple dollars risking almost certain death in a few years? What kind of gains do we really expect we can get above that if we say no? Probably not a whole lot I think management is pretty set on their end hence it's taken us to almost the end of the line to get a ta finally, unlike psa put NC has been negotiating for a long time, not like we're just taking the first offer and accepting it there has been a lot of sitting at the table with management for years to try and find a decent agreement for jets, just that usually psa undercuts us and takes the first offer from management without any negotiations negating any progress we make. Just my two cents I understand not everyone agrees with this.
