So many pilots get caught up in the hourly rate and forget about its foundation. Guarantees & rigs are far more important than additional $2-3 an hour.
It's called a solid pay foundation.
Please educate me about "quarantines". If you mean guarantee, then tell me what our new minimum monthly guarantee is in the TA. P.S. I already know the answer. It's exactly the same: 75.00 hours/ month. The rig does very little in that you get paid 1 hour of block for every 2 hours of duty, i.e. 6 hours of block on a 12 hour duty day. Most of our existing block/ duty ratios are already this way. I want a good guarantee AND rig AND hourly pay. We are being offered none of these. I am trying to raise the bar for ASA and the industry and I would appreciate if you all would do the same. Even if you like the TA, vote no, and they will improve it even more.
