Triple pay is here to stay for a long time, I’m guessing.
I sure won’t vote for any deal that puts $23m/17,500 in my pocket every month (roughly $1k after tax). I probably make ten times that solving the daily gummster fires management created with their incompetence.
No way they're going to divide the gummster fire value out to the entire pilot group. Why should those sitting on their couch capture the value generated by those hustling on their days off?
Give the value to those who are working extra. More like $23m/6,000. (I made that number up, I don't know what % of pilots fly premium every month, but it's not 17,500).
For example with a QS, 3x/4x payout should go to the pilot flying the trip. They put the slip in, they intended to fly the trip, they got the trip done. They also volunteered for unlimited batch size phone harassment. This also prevents overlapping 23m7 type payouts and lets it be leveled.
