Fourth, Alaska pilots have paid it forward for DECADES. You're GD right I want my cake and to eat it too. What's the effin point of cake if you can't eat it!?!?
Not one section of this TA should be a compromise. Our compromises are the reason we've had to shoot our load on scope.....in 2022.....25 years late....
You're new, I get it. You're stoked to get more than $150/hr. We've all been there. Believe me, enjoy that warm fuzzie because it fades quick.
How much more over $306 and the increases are you looking for? If you feel it should be $50 more, you’re in La la land.
So what, your willing to keep working under this crappy contract for an unknown amount of time, potentially a year or more for what, waiting out another $15-20 more an hr?
Meanwhile you’ll pass up potentially $200K+ more in income with the retro & new pay rates over 1-2yrs of waiting should it take that long.
Talk about tripping over a dollar to pick up a penny…
