The diff between SKW and PNCL pay is more than just what the 2$ per hour would imply. The work rule / pay gaurantees at SKW affect the total credit emmensly. As a capt in the top half of my base I can average about 98 hrs per mo with 16 days off. Many FOs I fly with average well over 100 hrs per month of credit. I have many jumpseaters who look at the pairings we fly and see the pay and are green with envy. Not saying that I do not want to raise the bar here at SKW because I do. Unless PNCL actually surpasses SKW in pay and work rules, it seems to me like we are holding up the bar for you.
p.s. SKW pilots care about what happens at other airlines and we care about this industry. Just to give some of you guys a clue: We want to make more money too, we just don't think ALPA will get us there.
