05 yrs FO: $164.55 (86% of max FO)
01 yrs FO: $84.52 (44% of max FO)
In the year 2000, before all the CONCESSIONARY CONTRACTS, the going rate for a 737 classic Captain at max pay was around $226 per hour. Adjusted for inflation (Source BLS: CPI Index) is $399.
New Rates:
12 yrs CA: $399
12 yrs FO: $279.30
05 yrs FO: $240.20
01 yrs FO: $122.90
Now keep in mind, these rates are only reclaiming the concessions we gave up. This does NOT include a single pay raise or account for the fact that we are flying planes with 30-50 more seats. If we vote yes on anything less than this, we are still taking a massive paycut. Demand what you are worth!
This is neat. I didn’t know SWA had an AIP?
Hate to break it to you, but last go around the arbiter didn’t care about our seating capacity when he defined our “peers”.
