Yes, I wasn't focusing on strictly CA pay and it looks like we are industry average on CA payrates. As far as FO rates we are still above the industry average. Our workrules are still very good which include things like a 2:1 duty rig, 1:1 rig for scheduled duty days over 12 hours, block or better, 100% DH pay, 100% cancellation pay per leg, holiday pay at 4:18 for everyone regardless of who actually works it, and a profit sharing/operational performance bonus plan. Holiday pay worked out to an extra $1000 on FO pay and the bonus plan paid $1900.
My main point was that SKW isn't bringing down the industry in terms of wages earned.
As far as the language on the ASA/XJT JCBA I can't understand why you would think this hinders you. That language ensures that we don't
undercut you. It minimizes the reasons for us to be played off each other by management.
