Why would you be willing to trade profit sharing that is worth 21-22% this year for a 15% raise (which is actually a 6% compensation cut)? Are you defective?
Talk to the captains you fly with and get educated about what was taken from the pilot group. You really haven't earned an opinion on the topic...to be blunt.
When you are off probation, you will get a vote. Make it an educated vote...not an "it's better than the military" vote.
This is commercial aviation. I don't do this job pro bono. I do it to get paid.
Thanks for your input. The only exception I take is in bold above. While I do not consider myself defective I am sure many do. That being said are you "defective" enough to think that these profits will continue until the end of your career? I am guessing that over time 15%+- would prove to be above PS into the future. Maybe I'm out to lunch. I am admittedly late to the party.
