But maybe you're saying fix 1st year and not give everyone else a raise? Otherwise I don't understand the argument.
Management needs to fix 1st year pay, the union says "yes, and also bring everyone else up to current market".
Not hard.
If it were up to Cargo, he would have agreed to an LOA with management a year ago to bring FO pay up for first year and then he would scratching his head today wondering why management has no intention or motivation to schedule early openers.
But like CLE said, Cargo gets off on making himself the champion of the first year pay.
But here is the irony, I’ll bring you up to speed. Ol Cargo used to be at Compass and he would come on the Spirit forums and chastise first year pay and proclaim how he would never come here because he can make more at Compass. One bankrupt company later, now he is here, for the same pay he swore he would never work for. However his song remains the same. The American pilots had to return him from their forums because he became an annoyance over there.
