[QUOTE=ERflyer;1922528]Management Plans If TA Fails
For reference Linda A. Puchala, one of three members of the NMB, makes a salary of $155,000 a year. Understandably she has little sympathy for Delta pilots as every pilot (except 190/95 FO) over 12 years would have made more than her with this TA.
How many lives would be lost if Linda A. Puchala showed up sick or fatigued to work. Does she get randomly drug tested, have her medical status updated every six months, work 14 hours and be expected to extend two hours to 16 hour duty day! Put her job on the line every 9 months with a work related testing event, be expected to do things when you are not even getting paid(for us Preflight planning, walk arounds, gate announcements, saying good by, helping with pax strollers..etc.) I would take her 155,000 to get all weekends off, all holidays off, her pension, her insurance plan, all federal holidays off and never have to worry about being fired no matter how incompetent she was or if she called in sick she has the protection of hippa. sign me up
