It doesn’t sound like you’ve been around very long, and what “nice, glorious items” have been given to you, was at the cost of the original pilots being treated like $hit. The BPC has no funding. NONE. It’s a volunteer group that mgmt laughs at. Management put that together with the thought of “that will keep the pilots busy and out of our hair”.

What big raises are you talking about? Each quarter… lol. The last raise was in February, effective March 1st. So we are almost 2 quarters past that with no raise. Since our “big raise”, regional carriers have started paying above us (AAWO carriers at $90 year 1 FO, not including the bonuses, DEC min guarantee of $246k year 1; now Commutair is paying only $3 per hour less than us to fly a 50 seat aircraft PLUS a bonus PLUS 16% 401k).

Anyway, yea we’ve had “big” raises here, as we sit $80-125 per hour below industry standard, with a 4% 401k match. Doesn’t sound like you were around last December when we so graciously received that monumental pay raise, I mean cut, where we got $6 per hour raise and they took away +30k a year profit sharing.

Like I said to begin with, all I can do is LOL
