Btw, you might wanna check YOUR math on 10%.
I know what you are referring to. We the pilot group are NJASAP, we voted to accept the contract. It wasn’t some select couple of individuals that said yes to a bribe. The bribe (bonus) you are referring to is paid out by how many months you have been employed by NJ with a cap of $30k. A Capt that has been here for a long time will obviously get more than a junior pilot that hasn’t. How many people vote yes for that I can’t answer but I don’t think too many were swayed by an extra $5k a year for the extension.
Not sure what you mean by checking my math on 10%. Is the bonus of 10% for fuel/performance or whatever equate to more money for a senior pilot than it does for a junior pilot? Obviously because they have a higher salary. The question to ask is how quickly that bonus disappears when times get tough.
