Just because that’s the way it’s always been, doesn’t mean that’s the way it always has to be. Opportunity for change missed.
That’s ridiculous. Cry me a river. Before the contract we have pilots on property that made tens of thousands of dollars less than their peers, some over $100k less. Even post contract we are below them.
But yeah, let’s focus on setting the new bar for first year pay. Don’t think for a second that raising first year higher would not shift the money backwards in other areas.
The best are guys like Excargodog coming here to complain as regional new hire FO that has zero comprehension on how the industry works, contrary to his self proclaimed wisdom.
Contract passed “Bigly”. You know why? Money. Simple.
