Contract Expectations
#671
20.4% over 3 years is paltry. American just threw $1.75B to PSA, Piedmont, and Envoy for their raises. APA is an embarrassment and I feel bad for the pilots over there. 20.4% over 3 years isn’t even a pay raise.

last raise was same as us, 1/1/19. Their contract became amendable that date too, so a year longer than us.

I really hope they send this back. I could see 5/5/10 for the last three years, but 10/5/5 starting 1/1/22 is an embarrassment and an insult.

“If wages are determined by demand and supply, then changes in demand and supply should affect wages. An increase in demand or a reduction in supply will raise wages; an increase in supply or a reduction in demand will lower them.”

I don’t know the real time data on the current regional workforce but I’ve “heard” Mesa is down to 800 total pilots, and Gojet has under 100 Captains remaining. The regionals are drying up at the same rate as Lake Mead and the training programs that created the next generation of pilots will be wiped out if the regionals blow up. I can tell you at SkyWest we have 5000 pilots but only around 3,600 are actually flying the line.

Crazy times.

Its not sustainable. It’s a band aid until either the shortage of pilots passes or they can accomplish a orderly shutdown. The CEO of United SK has already recognized and discussed this. Over ⅔’s of their RJ’s are going to be gone in the next 4 years.
