I'm not trying to defend the company at all....just trying to give a new 121 pilot good advice when standing toe - to - toe with the company.
I didn't realize that confirming my pay and wanting to get what I was offered was "making waves." I haven't and will not say anymore to anyone at ASA until Wednesday, after the higher ups have had chance to review it. I will not, however, just bend over and take what they give me. That, in my mind, is one of the biggest problems with this industry. As much as I'd love to spend some quality time here at ASA, they are not the only game in town, they are not the only one to offer me a job, they are not the great and powerful Oz, and they need me more than I need them. ASA just happens to fit my needs more than the rest do at the moment. When the pay they offer you is already low, and then they decide to tell you "it was a mistake," and reduce that pay by $300/month, I can't imagine why anyone else would not understand my being mad.
