Right.....1.2% is currently actual..... coming out of a recession.
This is business 101 guys, cement raises at the bottom of, or prior to, the recovery while expectations are low.
They are trying to get recessionary increases right as the recession is ending.
Then, when inflation goes back to a more normal 3-4%, (and maybe more due to the M3 stimulus)
pilots are stuck with actually making relatively less while they raise ticket prices relative to the
new 3-4% inflation rate, increasing net income at the pilot's expense.







Hopefully the Skywest guys can see through this because they're treating you like you're ignorant.
I can't imagine any educated professional actually agreeing to take a depressed economy contract right as we're coming out of it....
Don't believe me? Put in a clause that the raises are tied to CPI increases.
They'll say no even though everything else they pay for, and charge for, will be tied to it.
They believe you'll take it because you're in fear of losing your pilot job, or,
believe the current CPI/unemployment numbers will continue/get worse, or,
don't understand that we're right at the point of the airlines having pricing power.
Any other supplier would say it's not their job to take a relative loss to fund the airline.
It's time for pilots to stop funding the airline's profit increases.
