Yep you’ll commute on either side of that and depending on where you live it could really suck. You might get taxed or maybe not. No rhyme or reason.
What’s the daily rig at Omni with the new and improved contract?
Can you explain how your vacation slide works?
Do you have hostile area pay?
Did you get a DC in your retirement plan?
Is there a yearly company matching max on 401k plans?
Your pay rates are near worthless because your work rules suck, and you passed it with flying colors.
Even with your new and improved zero sum contract, the seat you occupy on the ACMI short bus (along with Atlas) is still pretty far in the back.
That was reference to K4, not Atlas. Our contract is very similar to theirs and they do fly more.
We go to 3.95 credit in this contract
Vacation slide is done after bids are awarded and you can slide to cover work days, or if the vacation landed on days off, put the time back in the vacation bank
No DC (neither does K4)
401k match is 5% currently
Our pay rates let us fly little, get paid well, and live where we want without paying taxes on commutes and hotels in base.
Good luck on your contract fight. A rising tide lifts all boats and I’d like nothing more than to see you guys raise the bar more. Makes it easier for us too in a few years.
