That's crediting over 120 hours then 1.25% over 82 to get Industry average pay.
With our amazing enhancing company and union collaborated industry leading undefined PBS system.
NO
Dude.... come on. You are welcome to point out that our rates are below industry standard, but you shouldn't make up total BS. If you credit 120 hours here, you will make way more money than industry standard. At 245 an hour, crediting 120 is over $32,000 a month. If you are arguing you have to fly that much to make the same as other airlines where pilots average 77 hours, that would be $415 an hour. Last time I check United doesn't pay Airbus pilots 414 an hour.
Let's please discuss facts based in reality. Let's try some real math
Top of scale United Airbus captains make 261 or 272 depending on 319 or 320. Our new rates as of March will be 245.
United A320: 272×75= 20,400.
Frontier A320: 245×75= 18,400.
A frontier pilot must credit an additional 8 hours, not the additional 55 hours you claimed.
Can we please try to have a discussion based in reality?
