Proposal 1, the salary:

89 x $50 x 12 months = $53,400 + $23,000 = $76,400 x 1700 pilots = $129,880,000 payroll

Proposal 2, the rate (at 83 hours, $23 an hour):

89 x $73 x 12 months = $77,964 x 1700 pilots = $132,538,800


By doing the salary payment, you are giving the company nearly $3 million that should be going to the pilots instead.

Clearly you, Mesabah, want to give our pilot's money to the company, but I don't. Let's get the MAJORITY of our pilots a significant raise.

BTW, I credited well more than 75 hours on reserve without giving up any days off so it has nothing to do with senior vs junior.
