we had no say in the rate and had no choice but to accept it. that is how binding arbitration works.

TO ALL THE NAY SAYERS... you guys couldn't resist a chance to put down your fellow pilots, huh? .. for shame
no problem. we should get some sort of pay increase because we are still in mediated negotiations. and the way it was worded these payrates are put in the contract as if they were there when it was signed in 1999. so there will have to be a renegotiation of the pay rates. now you are right about not being realistic in getting a really good rate jump. times aren't as good as they were 2 years ago for the airlines. maybe, just maybe, this is the reason management has been stalling for so long.

the reason i mentioned skywest is they are the only pilot group that just recently came to a new pay scale agreement, and these rates are nearly identical to skywest. most everyone elses aren't current, even if they are better.
