Not to mention the legacies will be getting big raises at some point.
Not to mention a 5% pay raise when profitability returns. International overrides for both per diem & hourly. I hear schedule flexibility is great too and bidding. A pilot who's home every night seems like an oxymoron to me. What's the arbitrary value put on that? What's the hourly rate for grievances filed? You guys set the record last year per percentage right? 1k pilots with 10+ leaving a month (albeit bottom seniority) means 120+ in a year? Is that 12%? Bet those reserve lines creep up and min line values depending on base. Class of 24 turned into 12? Is that half? 12 sounds like a good number. Is that how many bases close amidst this shortage? What's the company pay towards moving expenses? Heard big three is $250k+ (actually I know). I'm sure there's a mileage rate though, so that's something. How's that truckers union working for you? Heard they negotiated furloughs and way back kept ALPA off property. I'm sure they're experienced and good at what they do, what is it again, DJing and negotiating for top 12%? Or making sure you're home every night? Good luck negotiating with that attrition and clueless inexperienced reps. Heard some woman named Tracey (previous FA) is in charge of pilot group. Guess if you change the title that's legal eh? How's that going?

Airbus has a tray table, spacious flight deck, and auto throttles you don't turn off on landing though so that's cool. And an autopilot. Still "pilots" by definition though I suppose. What's a must work day and how's PBS btw? Benefits pretty good for family travel on AA? Asking for a friend who hasn't applied. I think real airlines are hiring?
