I’m glad LGA pilots are getting some help for the first 3 months which improves their QOL but that’s about it. Pay? It is great that now pilots get CA pay as soon as they are awarded a CA bid but that is money the company was going to pay regardless in retention bonuses. The union screwed FO’s, which have the RIGHT to sit on rsv to fly less, in order please the company and their staffing needs. I remember during the crew room visits how the union were supposedly against forced upgrades but here they are facilitating things for the company once again while throwing FO’s on rsv under the bus. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but a fair deal in this pilot climate? If you are a pilot and think that you got a W with these LOA’s, well good for you… but have you guys seen what the other leading regionals are doing? Sam when do you flow again?
I may be way off base here, but it feels like these LOAs benefit (second to the company) those with one foot out of the door to AA, which I assume are a large portion on the folks who came up with this deal.
