Gojet's union has negotiated a 50% raise for the first year guys but what about the rest? They get a whopping 7%. Didn't the Gojet contract expire in 2012? 7% after 4 years is 1.75% per year which is a little less than inflation.
Why on earth should any regional airline captain be getting paid less than 100k per year? With a huge pilot shortage why are the Gojet pilots being asked to take less than inflation, a payout?
Why is the union asking the pilots to ratify this? Often mediators ask unions to put the company's offer before the union members to see if perhaps the union is just asking for much more than the members are willing to take. Gojet will pay much more than this contract provides. If Gojet wants pilots they need to pay them.
Not that I give two sh!ts about GoJet, but dude...you willingly went to work for GoJet, what did you expect?! Did you not know of GoJets history before getting hired there? That's a serious question btw.
