AS gets 24% 401k contribution! That's amazing. Why did I think you guys only got 13%??
No I actually get 1.9 multiplied by my years of service payed at my highest 5 years income in my last 10 + 3% 401K. I bet it will be a pretty big # after 41 years at Alaska. We can compare our retirement numbers when we retire ... My profit sharing was 26,329 for last year. What was yours. I am not confused, I am pretty sure you are

We have only become a "bottom tier airline" for 8 months. Up to that point Delta was paying 217, SWA 216, and we are 216. Our 401k is twice VA's, most of us have some form of pension, our Medical and sick is drastically better, our pay is on average 20% higher. OC you live in a glass house. You are about to get a 40% pay increase on our backs. Show some respect and be thankful.

I am now looking at what I wrote and wish I never wrote it. It serves no real purpose except for my own ego. Those #'s only tell me I hustled way to hard last year and gave up way to much of my time off. I am glad you got a good bonus at VX... Sincerely hope we both see a nice pay raise in the fall if not the end of this month.

Fixed. It's not my business to share what someone else's earnings are. But yes. Let's focus on getting ourselves paid by working together. It can get heated and emotional when it comes to work and pay. And it's really easy to get sucked into these posts. My bad. Let's keep our fingers crossed and support our JNC to ensure we get the best contract possible.

Company refuses to accept the reality of current industry narrow body rates, scope and retirement plans. No surprise. One more week of mediation, which IMO is pointless. We will be going to arbitration as most of us already knew. The company tried to lead us to believe that this time would be different, this will be the "gold standard" of mergers, blah blah blah. It's the same old tactics and smoke and mirrors. Our JNC guys are fighting hard to make this work at the negotiating table but unfortunately there's not much more they can do to make this company understand. Let's hope the arbitration panel can give this management team a cold hard reality check and award us what we deserve. Time will tell... October is the end of arbitration.

Wait until you start living under this regime full time, more specifically, scheduling and upper management. I've been a fan of Alaska Airlines ever since I started flying as a kid. I have to admit that I drank quite a bit of their Koolaid also. Let's just say that the customer experience is quite the opposite that of the employees. Consumers award the JD Powers to Angle Lake and in return, Alaska force feeds their employees with the Booby prize, aka Consolation prize, or better put, a nice kick in the nut sack. Heck, my last regional treated their employees with more respect and even had better work rules than Alaska. It didn't take long for a new guy like myself to figure out. Fortunately for me, this place will soon be just a bad memory.
