I also haven't been paid correctly without a 5-10 hour investment in my time to correct my pay. Every month since December. My Rainmaker notes are ignored. My emails to Payroll are ignored. Thankfully I am getting some help from the Payroll Committee.
It is too bad that so many young pilots who were likely good hires for AS have left. I don't believe that pay rates are the issue. The real issue is that management has a culture of abusing pilots that they have grown accustomed to. This is evident daily in my experience and many other pilots experience. As long as management does not attempt to correct the culture of abusing and mistreating pilots, attrition will remain a problem despite even better pay rates than you seem to tout here regularly. Pilots need to be paid correctly, which is a basic legal requirement. They also need to be treated like professionals without belittlement or abuse.
Dude you only have 5 years here….? Then leave, you sound absolutely miserable. Make the change, we work for the same company and I personally don’t understand your animus towards the company. Every airline has its warts, you make it sound terrible, it is not.
