This is a BIG opportunity for Management to make a statement to prospective and current Alaska pilots who are on the fence about committing their careers to the company. A letter has been sent from our MEC to management requesting that the pay disparity be rectified by Sept 1 (our scheduled pay bump date). If management does the right thing, I will be one of the first to recognize and support them. If not, I will do my best to guide the upcoming generation of pilots to companies that value them as professionals. Let’s see what happens.
