JetBlue MRA rates and step grid plus 5% year one of contract
Additional 3% per year rate increases to account for being end of cycle to come to modern rates/ new contracts that are going to be negotiated while we’re locked in.
along with MRA bumps going forward.
18% 401k DC along with the new cash balance program other carriers have.
profit sharing in line with the industry.
we fly more pax with greater hurdles.
increased language to protect us from mergers/ acquisitions.
Birth of a child/adoption pay for 6 weeks paid like other major airlines have added in their new contracts.
parking pass covered for picked up by the pilot outside of normal line/ domicile.
there are no concessions and no favors this side of the company.
The planes don’t move unless we are paid in line with our peers and being end of cycle means we start negotiating for what will be the new cycle rates. We are no longer frontier’s cost saving advantage. We will be paid for the professionalism they demand with a higher workload than our pilot peers.
