Scope, QOL, pay, in that order.
Unless someone can give me hard data on DZers, such as who they are, how far down below retirement glide path they are, and how many they are, then I tend to assume that there aren’t any left and the plus up is just a money grab by senior pilots about to retire.
I would welcome having my mind changed, and shown what the actual need is, but I haven’t seen any real data at all. Until then, I’m not interested in the most senior of us blowing smoke up my *** about how my career will be so much better than theirs and that there will never be a hard time for me. Because we literally are in a hard time, and the ONLY reason I’m not furloughed is because of the federal government.
