Some of the latest contract rumors I've heard:
-Hourly rates similar to proposed Allegiant hourly pay scale for any A320 family aircraft up to 228 seats.
-5% reduction to current hourly pay scale applied to new Small Narrow Body aircraft. (CS100/300)
-PBS to replace line bidding, elimination of transition conflict
-Reserve modified to Long Call Reserve (12 hr call out), Short Call Reserve (current 3 Hr call out), and Airport Standby Reserve (8 Hr Airport Standby shifts).
- Long Call Reserve may be converted to Short Call Reserve with 36 hr notice. Max of 4 days/month may be converted.
-Long Call and Short Call Reserve may not be changed to Airport Standby Reserve.
-Airport Standby Reserve daily min credit greater of 5.0 hrs or block flown.
-Deadhead pay at 75% of hourly flight pay.
-110% premium for time flown above 82 hours.
-JA pay 150%
-Long Stay hotel provisions eliminated in exchange for breakfast vouchers provided at all hotels.
-Exploration of "Ab-Initio" style training program implementation.
-Professional (non seniority list) instructors to conduct all training events except for PC and Type Rating.
-Current pilot bases remain, proposed 6 month "base lock" for voluntary transfers between bases.
-Exploration of new crew bases for Small Narrow Body gauge aircraft at 2nd-tier airports due to gate availability at large hubs.
I guess we will have to give up a few things to get higher hourly rates, this seems like a win-win to get the pay up to standard.
Soooo.. a pay cut? This isn't even cost neutral. You are either a troll or a fool. Or both. (Management)
