All of our respective carriers are either in negotiations or soon will be. DHL's competitors, Fedex and UPS, are also in negotiations and are currently at the top of the pay scale. DHL has every right to seek the lowest bidder for their flying. Why do we agree to do it on the cheap? They have chosen to have over seven carriers flying the North American network. The time has come for us to reject the ACMI pay structure that has relegated professional pilots to a "C" scale relative to the vast majority of pilots flying similar equipment. DHL is currently funding multiple layers of senior management, boards of directors, maintenance, scheduling and dispatch personnel at ALL of these carriers and attempting to pay for it all by pitting pilots from different carriers against each other. I've had enough and have told my Union leadership so. I look forward to the coming announcement mentioned in the last conference call that will address these issues.
