It's all about honoring the profession as a whole. Pay physicians what they are worth and what their knowledge, training, sacrifice, stress, and skills demand. Professional Aviation is no different. Seems to me NAI doesn't want to pay pilots what they are worth. The profession not only suffers in the USA, but it also is a drag globallly. It's all about lowering the cost of a pilot (management pov). Time to raise the bar...... and keep raising it.

Disagree. No one else is going to take this fight to the hill for us. Maybe it's time for PAC participation to increase and give them the tools (money) to start punching in our weight class. Would $50/paycheck really even be noticeable for you? $20?

Adding long expensive routes with new equipment out of new bases staffed with new hires can't be cheap, training bonds notwithstanding. 1st quarter losses totaling 117m USD, is that correct? European legacies haven't gone away after a decade of full-on LCC incursions. US counterparts being far more price/cost competitive. Please explain to an admittedly slow learner how this pays out with no confederate providing domestic feed?

Step up to the plate and provide proof of your statement. Are you part of the CV review committee at NAI? About quality of pilots Jaded, provide this forum with facts on the credentials of pilots who may have or are considering signing on. Otherwise Jaded in your case ignorance isn't bliss.

A 3 year training bond for a job that pays half (or less) of industry standard rates, clearly NAI is attracting the best and brightest.

FX, UPS, DL, UA, AA, SWA...have raised the bar of compensation and benefits for the professional pilots across ALL segments of the aviation labor pool.
What have the pilots of the NAI scheme done to support those efforts?
I said it in the other thread, look no further than the current employers of the supporters of NAI on these and other forums.
