They have credited over 100 hours a month since finishing IOE, with most of their flying at 150%. Hardly bottom feeding. Sad that your MEC isn't properly educated on the ins and outs of the soft pay of our contract.
Our MEC tells us that the PSA MEC communication is next to non existent with the Eagle MEC. Our MEC has better communication with Skywest(non union) and RAH(teamsters) than with PSA. It has also been characterized to us that the PSA MEC has a "don't bother me when I'm working on a deal" mentality and refuses to talk openly on what they are working on with most other ALPA MEC's. How could we possibly learn anything about your soft pay when your MEC is playing the lone cowboy? BTW, these aren't rumors about your MEC....my sources are our negotiators and MEC chairman.
