Big fan of your posts, but this is a 10 second no vote. Thanks for playing.


I don't think he is proposing those pay rates, just trying to stir up ideas on how to make our pay scale less complex.....like a WB/NB scale. FTB will be asking for much higher rates IMO.

Add overrides for cranky cat ranchers.

I could conceivably get on board with Mem9guy's methodology. There is afterall no FAE race anymore. That said though, the 747-400 should be in a league of its own (or should it?). 777, 330, 764, in one lump. Pay rates should be much much higher than FTB's table. And NewK definitely needs a raise.

I am sick of chasing the coin - I get that. Schools suck. I was super happy on the -er, but there is too big of a pay gap between it and the 777 to stay put. Now I'm super happy on the 777 and would happily save the company training costs if it made money and lifestyle sense to not bid off. Do not read this as the 777 needs a paycut.

Any scope concession (short of stapling little jets to the seniority list) is a NO vote for me too...Anyone who bids yes for a scope concession won't get the money either, ask Midwest.

But, but, but, but... those are current pay rates, you mean no go on tiers right? Fair enough.

Btw, can I post an article from aviation week, which lately resembles a remote control enthusiast magazine, on the latest with our slot swap?

Glad to hear you're clamping down on scope. :) I do think the 747 should be on its own, and it's not because its Super Premium. :p

I certainly think MEM9Guy's idea could save the company some $$$$, which they can put directly in our pockets.

I agree that the 747 "should" pay more than the 777, but we already gave that up on our current PWA. Rather than spend negotiating capital on separating them back out, I felt that the 747 as the benchmark for all widebody rates helps to bring all of the others in its category up.

Anybody want to come up with some tiers?

NB and WB's by range then seating? And why do you get paid more for cruising? Huh? Huh? Some of us 5-leggers per day would like to know!? :D

Us cruisers all put in our time 5 legging it to get to the cruising, kinda like paying your dues.:D

Boy, no kidding.

Judging by the level and nature of complaining about this, it looks like they must have run out of short sleeve shirts at the pilot shop.

It these captains do not want to single engine taxi, that is their right. Most 320 captains never come on this board. *****ing about it on here will not change anything anyway. I'm not going to tell my captain we should single engine taxi because some anonymous poster on a message board told me we should. I know we're not all anonymous as I know a bunch of you, but there are a bunch of you that I still can't put names or faces to.

Last time I checked, these Captains don't own the airplane... Delta does. If Delta is encouraging single engine taxiing and has a safe procedure for accomplishing single engine taxi, then the Captains should be doing it. It's their job and what they're paid to do. It's part of being a professional pilot.

Nice justification. You should lobby for age 70 next.
