I hope they do raise first year, then we can start talking about everyone else again.
We need to start thinking of better pay rates in the 7/9/175 and let the 200 be.
Problem is that with our last pay package, we gave the company the option to raise first year pay to any amount without a pilot vote. All they have to do is get SAPA to sign off on it. And we all know how hard it is for the company to get SAPA on board with something....
The good news is that once you get to $40 you are getting pretty close to second year pay and those rates would need to increase slightly. If it wasn't obvious with the last pay package, all the company cares about is getting new hires. They don't care about anyone with longevity. Which is probably why you see some many higher seniority people pulling the chute.
