Laughable. Their acceptance of ****ty pay and treatment perpetuated the whip saw. When the next generation looked at pay and said EFF that is when change actually happened, the 1500 hour rule was just coincidental to that.
There is no QoL at NK, the same guys who took the 30 some bucks an hour sold out all the QoL rules for an absolute chump change contract. Unfortunately I expect that tradition to continue with the last negotiating update email the company is seeking - "administrative changes to the processing of certain premium flying, changes to certain management pilot provisions, and scheduling modifications to improve reserve staffing requirements." so we'll probably take a big giant L on more quality of life and premium pay for another chump change contract.
If your not talking 2XX and 3XX pay rates your head is stuck in the orifice between your legs.
/rant over, sorry for hurting any substandard contract yes voting boomer's feelings
I agree with everything you said except the thing about the next generation deciding that the pay was too low (it was too low) and saying EFF that. The pay was raised because of supply and demand. That’s it, it wasn’t because younger generations decided that they wouldn’t accept low pay.
