would really appreciate if someone can give me more info about WGA please.
Fleet difference? B747/MD11
Upgrade times? B747/MD11
Pros and cons? B747/MD11
For those current pilots, if given chance what would you have choose and why?
Training success ratio on 747 or MD11
Does the new atlas pay, WGA less attractive?
Can we also expect more pay increase? Or at-least Business class on DH’s?
Thank you everyone
Other benefits include. a $30000 retention bonus every three years and consistent, but not guaranteed, peak season bonuses. We’ve received bonuses in 5 of the last 6 years. Employee Stock Ownership Plan has huge potential. It costs you nothing. With current conditions, upgrade could come in far less than 2 years. If you do well in training, 1 year is not out of the question. We get a lot of good guys, but they leave for UPS, Fedex, United, shortly after they arrive. FO pay is less than other ACMIs. First year is comparable. But a quick upgrade to Captain could factor in making a decision. Pay raise is likely in the near future. ALPA has been voted in, but they’ve accomplished nothing so far, except collect dues. If don’t want to pay dues, you don’t have to join until a CBA is in place. That could take 5 years.
