Oh wait, weren't you a big/active supporter of the PPF?

But that's just how I see it. Of course, 10K/day is pretty sweet no matter how you do the numbers.

ex. $100/hr x 7hrs= $700
$117/hr x 6hrs= $700
Then they added the (small) pay raise on top of that. I no longer have a copy of the 1999 T/A to reference.
We also went from an average BLG (4 week) of 84 to 72.

And really, why would we be satisfied with the 75th percentile, in the first place?

There's a hell of a lot more to a T/A than pay rates.
Oopps, my mistake. they only serve the 15YO in Business on Emirates.

I sincerely wish the best for both pilot groups. Especially for their own individual, unique needs.
