Go look at what Spirit just got. It starts at year 1 as an 11% direct contribution and goes up 1% a year until year 5 where it's 15%. So day 1 they'll get 2.2 times what you get going to 3 times by year 5 and that's just the first 10-11 months of the year. After that you have no retirement. That's the type of improvement that we should be striving for...
The duty day was just a small detail to me. The fact that I'll be funding most of my own retirement would be the big deal to me.
We will be so happy for you when you settle for nothing but the best contract in the Airline industry. I hear minimum UPS + 15%? Good luck up there in your perfect little world. I hear it is such a joy working over at Atlas. Lots of adventure. Landing at the wrong airport, missing an Asian mountain top by 100 feet, gosh, it must be so exciting to work over there with such professional and intelligent pilots. Your posts represent the level of intelligence and professionalism that I hear about in your pilot group. I am in awe. Please consider me and let me join you as a student. My life would be so fulfilling and all of my worldly questions would be answered. I can think of nothing better than to be allowed to sit at the feet of someone as god like as you
