The math only gets worse for us if we consider the other benefits garnered by our peers: 401(k), sick time accrual, JBs ability to sell back sick time, profit sharing, days off, etc. The list goes on and on.
Right. Your math is correct and I thank you for that. I was responding to a post that claimed you'd have to credit 130 hours to get close to industry standard pay and I was refuting that because it's so ridiculous.
If we vote this in, and I'm not arguing one way or another, we will be compensated less than United pilots. No question. What I was trying to show is an accurate comparison. The post I was responding to was looking at it from the point of how much more you'd have to credit to achieve the same compensation.
