More specifically, it was only ONE MONTH of reduced MPG. None of this stopped pilots from picking up trips including Premium Pay trips.
For voting this in we got:
No furloughs
5% pay raises
Stricter limits on RJ flying
1st Class on all deadheads
Pay protection for all pilot displacements (still paid at higher payrate)
Early retirement option for all pilots with 20+ years
Health care of all pilots who took leaves
It was a huge win for the pilot group because just a few months after voting it in the company had to restore us to MPG because they started taking the PSP money.
