DON’T even pretend you aren’t being a selfish hypocrite with that statement - or that people who read it won’t see right through that hypocrisy.
Current Hawaiian first year pay is $81 an hour with a 75 hr guarantee. Current F9 new hires get $75 an hour with a 75 hour guarantee. Our newbies get $61 an hour and a 72 hour guarantee - AFTER THEY GET OFF TRAINING PAY.
But you are willing to do this to our fellow pilot employees because we MIGHT not merge with someone else? And it isn’t a merger, NK is being BOUGHT and there are two different bidders. That’s pretty damn pathetic.
