OK I'll bite. We work for a Fortune 500 company and a Fortune 100 "Top Places to Work" company (to get an idea of who else is in that group go take a look). Why do we have to go do forensic research and accounting on our pay every month? Why? This contract didn't sneak up on them. Yet somehow the onus is on the pilots to go digging around and figuring out what they should be paid for work they performed under a CBA. This whole approach we have been taking is backwards. The company is at fault and we are not doing anything, other than doing monthly forensic audits of our pay, to fix it. That is unacceptable on all levels. What we have contractually is not that difficult to figure out from the company perspective, a team of software dudes could have implemented those provisions easily. Yet here we are.

Stop flipping it back on the pilots here, we've got a lot of other things going on than to sit down at the end of every pay period and figure out whether we were paid properly or not. That, unfortunately, is our reality. The fact our association has remained on the sidelines here and have not ratcheted this up is disheartening to say the least.
