Xjt still gets to line bid and keeps their trip touch vacation dealio. Ask an old Cal pilot about trip touch vacation and it usually brings back visions of awesomeness.
They get a raise to industry average and for the sheer majority of pilots that fly over 70 hours a month... another 8-10k for showing up.
They also get a guarantee of 20 E-175.

It's a win for XJT and should pass easy.

 

These are all rounding errors.

The one thing I would be worried about is the potential $40,000 sign on bonus for new hires. Once this is voted in there will be no reason to come back to the bargaining table anytime soon. Giving up that leverage is something to think about very carefully.

The OO TA had a potential $30,000 new hire bonus - and that was one of the major reasons it failed so miserably (in addition to the left pocket right pocket shell game they were trying to play).

The rest of the TA is good news for XJT - just be careful in giving away future leverage.

 

Hmm. Doesn't the LASA side have a daily min, not an average, of 3:52.

 

Actually, it’s being calculated at 80 hours. And these charts are not produced or paid for by management like they are at Skywest. These charts were produced by ALPA E&FA and Comm professional staff.

These charts and the EQO calculated pay rate were just to illustrate an apples to apples comparison to pay rates. If you or any other Skywest pilots don’t like them, you can calculate total compensation by multiplying the hourly rate by the minimum guarantee and then by 12 months, then add the $10k/$8k for xjt in order to compare.

Assumptions are made in every graph and chart that compares contracts. We all know that pay rates are just part of the total compensation picture.

 

This TA is better than the TA Skywest rejected. And the compensation is only bested by Endeavor. The charts are posted above.

Anyway, xjt rejected their concessionary contract years ago before Skywest had accepted their pay proposals with measly pay rate increases.

 

Republic gets a sizable raise January. This is well below that

 

Always turn down the first offer. You can do better. They are trying to use you as leverage for OO's TA. Think about Republics new rates.. start there.

 

I didn’t know that. So xjt will be third out of a dozen? What is the percentage of their raise?

 

This is a huge player. It is assumed the vast majority of people can easily credit 70 hours. But what are the real numbers of people that do? It might be a higher percentage of people missing that mark (not deliberately) than most expect, hence why this is in there.

For example, how does this work for military? The average ANG or Reservist needs 6 days a month to do the one weekend a month/two weeks a year plus training periods. Military being on reserve cannot makeup credit with 11-12 days off to reach 70 hours again after taking military leave. A lineholder might, but then they are working doubly hard, and loosing time off just to be on par pay with the rest of the pilot group. Loosing a set credit for time off is much more fair with an appropriate hourly rate than this goofy conditional lump sum payments junk.

Is there a clause to help military, or was this completely overlooked? What about a commuter who misses reserve days? There are probably other conditions I am not aware of that can cause people to dip below 70 against their will or control. Thoughts?

 

It’s a 70 hours/month average in a quarter or 210 hours credit/quarter.
