next:
JetBlue 3 year 320 Captain at 75 hours: $ 107,424 a year.
Frontier 3 year 320 Captain at 75 hours: $ 108,900 a year.
In other words, the Captain at JetBlue makes nearly $42,000 more per year than his compadre while the Captain at Frontier makes almost $29,000 more per year than his fellow Captain.
Sign language now:
DOOOO.....YOOUUUU....UUUUNNNDDERRRSTAAAAAND?
There's a $13,000 disparity here and it makes me think that someone is featherbeding. Featherbeding is when someone sets up a system to help themselves at the expense of others. Maybe it was the pilots who like to wax nostalgic about New Air. Yeah, the ones with a couple year's of seniority on the rest of us.
Get it?
You like this system? Fine.
I'm just looking for democracy and democracy will come whether ya'll like it or not.
weak,very weak.... your gonna have to do better than use this 13,000 dollar argument to "fight" or "organize" for "democracy".
"featherbeding?" so your trying to convince me and others that the payscale was set up to intentionally screw the less senior pilots. weak again.
it was set up so THE MORE YOU FLEW, THE MORE YOU GOT PAID base on years of seniority. a concept used at every airline.
some advice for you. i wouldnt use frontier as an example. that company is barely keeping their head above water thanks to "ted". theres a high probability their pay scale will be ajusted soon (downward) due to competition and $55-$60 per barrel of oil. DO-YOU-UNDERSTAND???
P.S. there is no such thing as "industry standard" anymore. the only standard that has been established the last 4 years is DECREASE IN PAY AND LOSS OF RETIREMENT.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT SLOPE??
