You could tell the company was not amused this was voted down. Say what you want (it supposedly cost them even more than current book albeit slightly), but they wanted this in a pathetic attempt to attract new hires. Good luck. Honestly. There is no future, as of now past 28 months, and your first year pay with no bonus is about to be anything close to industry leading with what TSA and, I would assume RAH, is about to have.
If they don't come back to the table within the next few months I'll be absolutely shocked. If it doesn't happen it's pretty clear they have already decided it's done for after this extension.
I agree but the problem is competing for new flying. It's hard to compete with SkyWest or other carriers when your bottom line 'cost' are higher. The Regionals are a cut throat business and believe me Piedmont watched everyone grow while we held the line and in doing so we went from 100 planes down to about 34.
Management wants to be cost competitive and they know they need to pay enough to get new Pilots. Where's the line in that cost?????? Especially when you're looking at 50 seat older planes????
Was 70 seat rates included in TA????
