It's short term until a JCBA which when it comes time to negotiate that I think we should be asking for profit sharing.
I don't see how people can compare what we do to deltas operation, widebody and a more substantial international operation and sheer size and the profit sharing size checks they get. From my eyes that's comparing apples to oranges if pilots here think we would see profit sharing checks that size. Not to mention it doesn't take much for an airline to not turn a profit (recession, war, pandemic). So why would you not consider a 21.5% compensation increase with snap up (granted its averaged) which is guaranteed compensation to hold us over to a JCBA? Then we get another shot for compensation, QOL etc.
I feel 21.5% over 18 months is pretty fair considering we get another bite with spirit when we grow tremendously. I'm keeping an open mind and honestly would love for people who are saying no to tell me reasons. I just feel a lot of people aren't keeping an open mind about this. (and before people start blasting me because its APC B6 is not a stepping stone for me. I came here with the full intention of staying)
you also have to realize 18 months will grow to 4 years at least until another contract is had. Just sayin
