FJ has a set 7/7 option at the moment but I am told (could be wrong) that a very small handful of pilots actually go for it, but most don't because it pays significantly less than PBS. As far as the pay negotiations go, I believe the pilot group is using NJ's most recent contract as a bargaining tool for pay and QOL improvements. My understanding is that the #1 issue pay wise (aside from actual pay increases) is us getting some sort of FDP structure that would incentivize guys to fly longer rotations. 401K increase being a close #2. Whatever happens, something needs to be done. The attrition is pretty high and the company has very ambitious growth and expansion plans. If they want to attract more quality pilots, and more importantly KEEP them, they know they are going to have to pay better somehow.
