3: We need to have Payscales that have a set minimum that we can make per size quipment, I.E.. $37.00 an hour is the Absolute Lowest 1st year wage that a 50 Seat regional FO can make.
Feel free to add anything else we would need.....if it wasnt for the fact that my FOM says i can get fired for not paying my Union dues....I never would have
First, I am in the cargo industry and part of an independent or "in-house" union. There is NO way I would go with any other type of representation.
Second, bigger is not always better. We have an industry leading contract because our union is 100% staffed by our own and 100% representing our pilots.
Third, if you want better representation why don't you work on forming a union which specifically deals with and represents only regionals?
