Well, that's obviously a lie. LCA trip pull has nothing to do with staffing and everything to do with money.
Another way for us to self-fund the rate increase.
Well if they had money to throw at us, why didn't they throw some REAL money at us? They threw us 8%.
That's it.
That's all this is. 8%.
While we are still 18% behind our 2004 pay rates. Now add in the inflation since 2004.
You'll make a lot more than that as an F/O by flying a couple green slips when you get bought off your next couple IOE trips, or when you move to the next higher paying seat..
If the company gets relief on IOE trips, guess what? Your upgrade just got pushed back a few years. Voila, no pay raise for you!
