The guarantee is also 2 hours higher.
The proposed rates are even higher than the hourly rates at Southwest. Of course, we don't fly nearly the hours that Southwest does so they are bound to make more.
What are people calling "bread crumbs"?
It is time to put Omni's proposal into a TA and let us vote. Money can't buy happiness but it sure does help with the bills.

Atlas contract is not one to compare, its very outdated and the Atlas group has yet to ever vote on any of their contracts. Atlas pilots also make much more per month on line credit / min day and work less days than the Omni group.
Atlas is hoping for a mordern day contract where Frank here is grabbing at a small raise to get him through to retirement, which would still leave this group at the bottom of the industry.
Stay strong, or forever be a bottom feeder!
