Therefore you need to add 11% to get an equivalent for our contract.
$280 X 11% = $311.
Once they have a new TA $311 per hour for a 737 captain will be the rate all our hourly rates will be based off of.
Time is on our side.
Patient for the right deal.

Please put the crack pipe down, and the book on Herb called Nuts. I work for a corporation that despises its pilots. They blame us for their management failures, like the -300's going into retirement. We have 12 hour duty day international turns, and we are not allowed to get off the airplane. The director of flight ops tells us to grab a muffin at the hotel before you start your day, we are not provided food by the company. Our hotels suck, we stay at a lot of holiday Inn's. In fact scheduling asks our pilots to sleep in the crew room when they can't find a hotel for you on a reroute.
We are 4 years past due on a contract and our management believes Allegiant pilots are overpaid. If you think time is on your side, good luck. Do you think they hired Randy Babbitt to negotiate against employees for good will?
