Default ABX Pay

ABX is a wonderful place to work, with a small pilot pool, huge airplanes, and small company atmosphere. But with the pay being as low as it is, why would anyone come to work here, much less stay for as a career. The company seems content to hire and train pilots for the majors. Obviously, they find it cheaper to train and release rather than train and retain. Companies such as Envoy, PSA, even Ameriflight pay more than a 2nd year FO now. Senior Captains who are topped out get a 3% raise per year. When talking with any member of the Union, the response is the same, the company is not interested in raising pilot pay rates. Yet due to a no strike clause, pilots cannot do nothing about it. Scheduling absolutely abuses pilots with new trips that would not be tolerated by any other pilot group with even a moderate union. Displacements for pilot training eat up a line so much so, that it really isn't worth bidding a line. While the unions sends out emails asking for proof they know full well is happening.

So either move on or shut up.
