The lack of self esteem and self worth in this industry is disgusting. I am not wanting a salary level that will put this company out of business, but to be "realistic" as you put it is ridiculously subjective and offers no tangible outcome to what the union is fighting for. Of course we are operating on the basis of being realistic. But your perception of reality might be slightly different than the 10 year FO at NetJets. I know you still don't understand, and that is fine, that is why discussions are fun. Nothing personal taken I assure you.
Given that you guys are flying with min-rest these days, flying new equipment more advanced than most airliners, and flying pax worth more than the collective pax on most airline flights, I would say you deserve more than you are currently getting.
My friends at Netjets seem to be working A LOT harder these days vs in the past. One guy on the Sovereign fleet sounds chronically exhausted and is applying to the legacy airlines like a lot of people. Probably one of many with apps out.
