Edit: just found your FEB2018 Tentative Agreement. Reading Section 9 now. Looks like it’s all spelled out and is bargained by the union. That’s great we literally have a couple guys in standards and training that can’t get anywhere with the VP of Flt Ops to adjust our rates, which are close yours but we both trail the industry average. Our lack of language for training cadre is leftover from our FAPA (in-house union) days where we drew a line between our training and union guys, so the union never negotiated language in the contract for training staff.
Your training pilots are not represented within ALPA even at their base LEC? Are they considered management? Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying.
