We deserve a lot more. They know it. They pay less because you accept less. Equal hourly rate is still a discount and still a no from me.

We want an equitable pay raise for all the stuff w have to deal with.


if you want to work for less the regionals are always taking cheap labor with limited rights. But I thought this was a major airline paying big boy pilot wages not some crappy regional carrier flying larger metal paying less than republic or endeavor after their incentives.

our hourly rate for our level of risk is crap.

tons of regional pilots make 140 an hour after 1000 hours of time in 121. In the mean time our company is trying offer us less than that to operate ate an airbus with 2-3 times the number of passengers.

let them go out of business if they can’t afford to pay us what we are worth. But pay me for the work I produce. Biffle gets higher compensation for the size of this airline compared to the legacies. We should get higher compensation too. We have more crap we have to deal with including smoothing over their failed operations.

It was a rhetorical question to stimulate a conversation, not an emotional tirade, and the answer is yes. The negotiators could simply go down to the company legacy ask for guarantee in exchange for going back to legacy rates. The cost is roughly the same on a balance sheet, in the Proposal, in Ltd coverage dollars, and and and. It’s the same cost.
