However, if it does not get fixed I will live & live happily. I still consider us to be in a very good place. I feel very fortunate to be here. Thanks for your input.
the problem is that some people see this as a "tough crap" issue and it shouldnt be. It is 100% unacceptable for future hires to be paid better than those of us already on property. To be clear, i want the newhires to get everything they can but i dont want to be paid less than a newhire is when it comes to retirement contribution.
this along with a number of other issues should be addressed going forward.
PS-this isnt to point fingers or place blame, its to educate and spread the word. Theres no reason why pilots not hired yet should get more in their retirement than those of us already on property, especially those of us with -0- pension obligation.
