I hope the union is paying attention.
"The First Officer percentage of Captain’s pay (the “FO slope”) will increase immediately.
All HA pilots will receive very substantial ratification bonus payments consistent with industry rates that would have been in place for the equipment each of us has flown since the amendable date of the contract.
Our trip rig has been significantly enhanced (3.5:1) to provide more pay and credit for inefficient pairings.
An average min day (Minimum Flight Grouping Credit) has been established that provides pay and credit for inefficient trips.
Recurrent training pay and credit has been increased.
Retiree health benefits have been monetized and secured by a VEBA trust like the one that exists for our LTD benefits. That means that our retiree health benefits will continue to be industry leading, and be protected against merger or Company economic downturns."
This line from Bob during the call gives me hope-"And over this period of time the ask of the pilots has gone up several times."
