Also, the TSA pay scale is higher than the Endeavor payscale. There is NO way an Endeavor FO is making more than a TSA Captain. $20k equates to approximately $20/hour. So, the maxed out $39/hour on the 900 turns into $59/hour. So, a new hire FO will make more than a new hire FO at TSA until year three pay, when the TSA FO will be making more until that person retires or moves on to a higher paying job.
LOL wut?
How recently are we talkin? Because the PNCL 2011 JCBA blows TSA's out of the water. Even their current CBA with a 20k annual bonus is equal or more probably higher given the fact they are offering 200% for their open time. Yea, there's a lot more to a contract that just section 3, but you keep paying attention to that if it makes you feel better.
As for what happens in 4 years, what happens if TSA shuts down and all those FOs upgrade WITH that bonus if it all happens as Delta's management predicts? We can sit here and throw out 'what ifs' all night long but we both know 4 years in this industry is a crap shoot. How long before you "escaped" your last carrier? Half that time?
My point still stands, this thread becomes less objective and more hilarious with each post from you cheerleaders.
