Every increase you have had since then has been a part of collective bargaining. I’ve been a lurker long enough to know you avoid dumping on F9 management, but this is something worthy for you to be upset about. It’s a workaround.

That's definitely true.

I've been watching the regionals do this for over a decade now. And it doesn't seem like there's a thing the unions can do about it. Unfortunate for the progress of our next CBA, no doubt. But I don't think there's anything we can do about it. This was inevitable

It doesn't bother you that the company is, in essence, violating the contract by paying someone with a seniority date 30 days junior to someone else, ~$13/hour more?

It doesn't bother me new hires are getting hotels, higher pay, etc., but the continuous chicken**** antics are getting old.

Well those are the rules. Company is just playing by them. Just like any pilot does when it comes to the myriad of contract issues on a daily basis

Is there any truth that the company came to the union and offered $30 pay raises across the board, And the union said only if we clean up the grievances? If true should have taken the free money. It's a higher starting point for next contract and you don't know what's going to happen in the current economy.

If someone is coming here for a type with the desire to go to a legacy, they’re not going to turn down Delta over $35k. Folks at the regionals are paying back larger retention bonuses everyday.

A contract isn't worth anything if it's ignored.

This management team has treated pilots as the enemy to success.

Ask your reps about the company asking for an across the board raise. It never happened. But that's exactly the kind of BS management would put out to divide us. Not accusing the company of anything but we should be careful with rumors.

Yet people with over 4 years are leaving in numbers that seem to be increasing. I wonder why. I just flew with a captain with 5.5 years who said he was gonna try for Delta.

So the 11/28 class would be offered this bonus? You can say no? Where is this info posted to verify?
