No, we don't have the same rigs. No, we don't make the same rates. Yes, you work longer days, fly more legs, sleep in worse hotels, have less time off, and are more prone to abuse for free than your peers.
Part of the culture here is gaslighting yourself and your coworkers. And if someone starts bringing up the inconsistencies they're told to "pipe down and focus on your family."
The first step to a better contract is admitting you have a problem.
he has come on here and only proved my point. They have the exact same duty rigs the only difference is a 5:15 AVERAGE daily and we have a 5:00 hr average duty. Yes theirs is slightly better. Their pay is 6% higher, their bonus is about 6% more. It is most certainly one of the best pilot jobs in the country. Their duty rigs are almost identical to ours! Your regional had better work rules right?

Old Timers? My age would shock you. I still have more then two decades left at AS, I was fortunate to be hired very young
