Makes you wonder what the survey results actually say... Do we disagree over $46m and our NC is only pushing for pay parity with JB!?
Hey I understand JB pay would be a big bump for us, but you have to remember that the company makes more money per pilot than any other company does. If pilots were paid on a profit margin basis we would be leading the industry in pay. We should at least be in the ballpark and JB rates are quite a bit below the average. Hopefully they get a good contract.
I wish the NC would just be able to say exactly what we are asking for and exactly what the company wants. $46m doesn't seem that far off considering it is over the whole 5 year deal if you factor in all the hiring we are doing.
