$280/$190 to start w/6% annual increase minimum-completely doable with greater of block hours flown or 6 hours of pay per calendar day, 6 hours for vacation day, and 6 hours for training day. Raise min guarantee for both block & reserve pilots. For the w****es and the lazy, get rid of the min and max.
17% into 401k and snap up to 19% by the end of the contract. Bring back the pension plan with the ability to choose between straight 401k or pension plan.
Scope-76 seats or less and put a % cap of flying that can be done by them.
15 days off for reserves.
Sick leave similar to Delta or better.
Paid training lodging for new hires plus per diem.
Per diem raised to $5/hr. It's been $2/hr since when ($2.15 in our last contract-woo hoo!)???
Better crew meal language
Better hotel language
$300 to drive to co-terminal bases with parking included
ETOPS/International pay of $10/$8 per hour for the entire pairing

Some of you may laugh at this but the airgroup is more than capable of accommodating our requests. They raped us during Kasher and they've been making $$$ hand over fist since then. Can you say RECORD PROFITS? We've been leaving $150 million + on the table every negotiations for I can't remember how long. Just based on compounding interest alone, they can pay us and then some.
This will not be give and take but only take on our part. No more concessions, ALPA!!!
