I saw on a Spirit thread a CA worked open trips and made 174 credit for the month. I don't think we can even go over 90. At my commuter I averaged 150 credit for many months in a row not even working over vacation. Soft pay is where the money is, who cares about rates?

 

I just Google'd the APFA and went to the contract page IIRC where you can download the TA.

Starts at $23 with an increase to $49 by year 12 then year 13 it will go to $58 in 4 years

Basically $50k at min guarantee by year 13 but on the East side I've known some hit 120 credit routinely. That's mid-$80's...no wonder they can't pay the regional pilots anything...

 

That's exactly right. I got a buddy at FedEx who has credited 160 hours in a month. Look at their pay rates and think about those apples.

 

Awesome email sent out tonight regarding scope!

 

Yes! This puts this rumor to bed. Just emailed out an hour ago:



A MESSAGE FROM YOUR APA LEADERSHIP

The newly expanded APA board of directors — with duly designated chairmen and vice chairmen from CLT, PHL and PHX — is convening this week for the first time.

As a board, we are united concerning Scope. We understand and share your concerns prompted by senior management's recent comments about our industry-standard 76-seat limit on regional affiliate aircraft. Management has indicated a desire to dilute that limitation and obtain a below-industry-standard Scope Clause in the ongoing joint collective bargaining agreement negotiations.

This afternoon, the full APA board met with American Airlines CEO Doug Parker. Our conversation with Mr. Parker was frank and cordial and covered a wide range of items. Foremost among them: We informed him that APA will not agree to any Scope concessions. Our actions now concerning Scope will help define the profession for the balance of our careers and for the next generation of aviators, and we are committed to securing industry-leading pay and work rules.

With the merger of American Airlines and US Airways succeeding beyond the most optimistic forecasts, management needs to address APA's priorities concerning quality of life, work rules, and pay and benefits. Our pilots' sacrifices, our efforts on the merger's behalf and the vital role we play in the airline's success must be appropriately acknowledged.

 

+1 ^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Incredibly glad to hear. Godspeed and stick to your guns!

 

This has to be a collective effort amongst all three carriers (AA/UAL/DAL). Every inch you guys can gain this contract in scope gives DAL and UAL more ground to gain when they go back, then AA again down the line. Give up nothing!!!

 

Highly doubt we gain anything. ...

 

Just wait and see before being negative about our future contract. APA has balls.
