The previous 3 post's to this statement are correct. Please explain how our compensation is comparable to pilots at other airlines. Because this TA gives up much of our soft time pay advantage. The new retirement vehicle limits our retirement contributions to IRS limits with no cash over cap option. That is compensation we are not getting and it's affects the senior pilots more so than junior. No profit share. No control over investments.
How many pilots do we have flying the 757, MD-11 & 777? (number are from VIPs seniority summary today)
B757 has 784
B777 has 1,619
MD11 has 1,134
Total 3,537 pilots flying at a significant discounted rate.
B767 has 1,493
A300 has 731
Total 2,224
So this TA pays %39 of our pilots close to market rate for the aircraft flown.
But this TA undervalues %61 of our pilots compared to market rate for the aircraft flown.
Which subset of these pilots have the highest block hour utilization? Do B767/A300 pilots crush the block hours flown compared to the bigger jets?
