Without the LOA , and displaced, I would be getting around 75 hrs at roughly $240/ hr which equals $18,000. So under the LOA that's an approximate loss of $3440 per month. Is there somthing I missed in this equation?
my assumption is that if we are at sub 40% hours next spring/summer (the 52 MPG), everybody at UAL should be making plans outside aviation. and you won’t be at WB pay for long. I’d make your calculations based on NB pay if you think sub 50% block hours are likely next spring.
If we are at 55% which I think is more likely for late spring, you’re at $17,640. Once we hit 57.5%, you’re above your displaced number.
this is my basic premise, that I don’t really understand how people are not acknowledging. If we continue to be on the low end of the mpg table, as many people are using to evaluate their pay if this passes, our airline is in deep deep trouble. So, I guess I don’t understand a scenario where we’re at 50% or less and guys think the airline will keep trucking along with even 8,000 pilots. So, If 5,000+ furloughs happen, game-changer is an understatement. the pay a 2/3rd pilot and anyone under 5,000 system seniority should be evaluating isn’t WB pay, but NB.
again, I urge people to actually go through the motions of looking at what will actually be happening at UAL if we are still experiencing the block hour numbers that people are bandying about when looking at the AIP MPG table
