They said In the beginning they want a deal by March. For most captains to make up the difference in pay it's equal to picking up a two day or a few turns and for fo's it's even easier with 200% being handed out like candy.
It’s $21k for me over the next 6 months. Now, please direct me to where these $21,000 for a “picking up a 2 day or a few turns” are at.
$21,000 is worth about 14-15 hours CA pay a month at current rates, over 6 months. So that’s a 3 day extra each month a CA has to work to make up that cost. Or 3 day trips to make up that each month.
This is not a small drop in the bucket. The math says otherwise.
