The negotiators were brilliant in getting all the soft pay adds last contract; it materially raises our pay while not making the bottom line pay raises an issue for the non-contract employees. Of course the company could avoid much of this soft pay by avoiding the behavior it was designed to reduce, but they haven’t/can’t/won’t.
Soft pay is pretty much non existent on the WB side. Ergo it doesn't benefit all pilots
Getting much larger hourly pay, more and better pay banding ( especially NB side) getting vacay = ADG benefits all of us
You got your soft pay, time to work for the entire pilot group this contract
