I’ll take better pay rates and work rules over profit sharing any day.
Motch’s advice to present a resolution is the correct path forward. Complaining about it here is akin to shaking your fist at the rain. It won’t get you anywhere and you’ll still be wet.
what’s that old saying- “You only know what you know, and you don’t know what you don’t know!
I always knew about the Delta new hire Hotel thing..did NOT know that Legacy United did it too. Wonder when it changed or if it was a result of the merger, and CAL having it while UAL didn’t.

There seems to be an attitude from the millennial generation (many.. but not all!) that they want what someone else has-
now! Not waiting till it’s their turn, but now.
From a Union point, that doesn’t bode well for the future.
As a side note for the new pilots reading this who might be “pi&&ed off” next month- keep in mind that almost EVERY Capt now is spending twice what they use to on food & drink while on the overnight. Why? Cause it’s tradition to pay for that when flying with a probie! And it’s something that (probably) 98% of us do without blinking an eye! (And many senior FO’s occasionally do it to). Haven’t seen any Captain on here F’ing complain about that.
For ALL our new pilots.
F’ing CONGRATS. Ya made it to the Major League!
Enjoy, have fun.. learn.
But understand that everything (both good and bad) has a price and a history.
Change will come from within, and change takes some time.
Get involved~ (not just on a bs “for pleasure/laughable” forum)
Oh, and
Fly Safe, Fly Professionally and
Fly The Contract
