The money isn’t going to come for awhile and the percentage of DECs isn’t enough to swing that topic one way or the other.
Management knows their captain shortage is almost over with the 2016/2017 new hire fo’s all nearing their time.
In addition, we have like a six month waiting list to come to this company, another reason they won’t budge on money.
The flow is working for now so that doesn’t help our cause either. Don’t get me wrong I would love higher pay, however I don’t see it happening in the near future and would at least prefer more of the LGA 145 slots being taken up by DECs.
