if we consider that on a 3:00 block a F/A will earn $72 x 3 = $216 flight pay and :40 x $36 = $24 in boarding pay…you’ll see that it’s an additional 11% in flight pay but because it doesn’t apply at all to suck time, vacation etc…it’s really 9-10% extra. Nowhere near the 16% that is being thrown around.

Also, the 4% receive in 2019 was an annual raise which pilots also received…you guys just received it a few months before everyone else. If you look at the schedule of annual raises you’ll see that what noncons received in 2019 wasn’t an “additional raise but rather just getting something pilots already received months prior.

So in reality for pilots to match what noncons have received since Covid hit you’re looking at 4% plus the 10% in boarding pay. So 14% total.
