I know AR and exco have their reasons for this, but it is rough when somebody who doesn't fly but takes a line anyway and has only seen pay raises during the pandemic tell me that i am not allowed to make double and triple. when there are no concessions being asked for (which from what i've seen on fb there weren't), then let the pilot group decide whether they want to make some extra $$$ during the worst inflation in 40 years.
Or... make sure a new contract and pay raise is around the corner. don't tell me that i can't make extra money now AND that i will have to wait 3-4 more years for a raise.
and all you AR worshippers, don't tell me that this will motivate the company to get a deal done sooner. we are no where close to a new contract. the union has not put forth one economic proposal (and don't plan to until the United numbers are made public). we are years away from a contract so please let me make some extra money in the meantime to take the sting away.
Not an AR worshiper by far. If fact I was disappointed in that he didn't just shoot the deal down when they came to him with it. In his own video he said he turned the deal down because they would not give reassurances not to screw us over in the deal. If you look at the response on FB, 100% of posters said they are glad the union told them to go pound sand, and that no stop gaps/MOU's/LOA's were acceptable.
But no, you cant have any extras right now. Anything that helps the company does nothing for 90% of this pilot group. If it doesn't benefit all then NO. Too many of us working that extra day this month and next, doing low credit trips etc. Many on reserve getting the constant shaft. This company needs to become a real airline or sink.
