It's just not even worth arguing with people anymore. It's laughable that on the other site guys are *****ing that a senior capt will lose $9000/year. Yeah, hope the other 250k makes up for it.
I've worked a total of 5 days since April, and I'm gonna get a sizeable paycheck at the end of this year just like the rest of you. It blows me away that people are complaining about a reduction in pay when every other pilot group is receiving WARN letters, or have completely lost their jobs like many corporate guys already have.Not to mention our own company is losing many above/below wing positions.
This is absolute best case scenario with what's happening in the world. I think the union did a great job with this, and if it opens up more gates in LAX, NYC and possibly even slots for us in London and other European destinations in 2022+ than this is a huge win for us.
