But that'll be 1 year of equality before we head into years of negotiations. In the meantime, we're faced with being paid as much as $30/hr less than three, 737 operators, for 20+ months. 3 months ago, we were only $20/hr off that mark. Somehow we took a step backwards in the name of progress.I know there will be those that say, "so what, we'll be the 4th highest paid 737 drivers then". To them I say, Never, Ever, in any meaningful competition, achievement based, reward system, has 4th meant a dammm thing. We deserve to be at the top of the podium. Why? Because AS pilots have busted their arses for 90 years and this group has earned it!However, Biz, I am encouraged by the fact that, as you say, the cat's out of the bag. I hope going forward, every AS pilot realizes their worth and demands that top podium spot. The next orange stickers better read ,"Industry leading for Industry leaders!"
