I'll say it again.... 25% PROFIT MARGIN (Remember when 10% was the magic holy grail number we needed to attain?)
Bull$hit expectations in the gutter like that are why we all get treated like $hit. The B&B show always knows that you'll bend over backwards for $hit because of the "AS Family" $hit they spew. You sound like pu$$y ALPA negotiators that are scared to even ask for what they want (ya gotta give up something to get something) because it might screw up their second floor job chances. COPS needs to grow some balls just like ALPA does. We are #1 in efficiency and #1 in productivity. Take the 1990 route map and overlay it with today's route map. Bigger airline, bigger pay. 3 reasons why we should get industry leading pay. This "you've always got #5 so this is what you should get" is crap. This ain't the same AS like is was in 1990.
NO MORE ARBITRATION. I'M WILLING TO WALK FOR SCOPE YOU SHOULD BE TO. WE NEED TO GROW SOME GOD DAMM BALLS AND ASK/STRIKE FOR WHAT WE'VE EARNED.
And don't get me started on the fact that Alaska Airlines can't even fly through a snowflake without pre cancelling flights.....
Dude as of 9/30/2017 the financials show $2,321,956 in revenue YTD. and NET income (profit) as $264,879... divide profit YTD into YTD revenue and we have 11.4% margin. If your gonna get on here and yap atleast yap facts. I know it may be an inconvenient truth but the margin, although healthy at 11%... is certainly not 25%..
And be very careful attaching our pay worthiness to profit margin, because heaven forbid our margins decline, I highly doubt youll support us making less pay because our margins are less. The pay should be higher based on the market rates for pilots right now.. margin has very little to do with anything...
