Things like this, in my opinion, are in regional contracts to distract from the junk of the entire contract. Does anyone need $20 a month to afford their uniform or is this just a cheap pilot "I want $20 because I want $20"
Personally, I dont want any of this kind of low bar junk discussed in section 6. Its beneath us at this point to be discussing pennies a day when we should be discussing larger issues.
I do not want any trivial gesture of $15-$20 month for uniforms to be misconstrued as a "give" by the company or a "gain" by the pilot group.
Keep your uniform allocation, medical reimbursement, crew meals, or any other ridiculous items of such.
I keep hearing about how we want big money, retirement, min day, etc....yet uniforms..
This isnt directed at you, I know youre just adding what you had before. But Section 6 opens soon and as a pilot group we need to get our damn minds right on what we are doing here, and it aint $20 uniform allowances.
In the words of Omar, "How You expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with puppies"
Agree with all that. Would be totally okay with no uniform allowance, no grabango, no cab fare after 30 minutes, I take the cab after I waited long enough, and don’t bother trying to expense it, it’s peanuts anyway. Its just that they sat around and said: “okay, no first year pay, but training pay & and no health insurance. Come on guys, I’m sure there’s something else we can do. Wait, what about the uniform?”.
