United MEC in 2012 was told the 767-300 was going away so guess what they did? they negotiated a few dollars more than the 757/737-900 and put the 767-400 as top WB rate.

Guess what aircraft we still have at UA? Guess what aircraft we are putting winglets on, our new Polaris business class and doing HMVs on? Guess what aircraft we just bought 3 of from Hawaiian? Guess what aircraft we are expected to keep tell mid 2020's?

Good thing we didn't waste our time negating higher pay rates for an aircraft that is going away.

I think we will see huge movement toward the bus with the 190 becoming a defacto "JetBlue express" thats on property.

Agree on the the market rate for the 190 is what held our rates us back.

Those on the Airbus who are turning a blind eye to the lackluster 190 rates because it doesn't effect you, are in for a surprise when their seniority takes a hit when senior 190 pilots make their move. Low Embraer rates hurts the entire pilot group, not just those flying it.

If it passes when does the contract go into the effect?

You can see the implementation sched on ALPA website.
And it will pass on the strength of the Scope/Section 25 (Scheduling) and Retirement.
May not be the landslide the mec hoped for, but the highlights are a needed improvement for most here.
Flame away NOs. :)

i am kind of leaning "no" right now based on implementation of reserve and the pay rates for the giant category of "e190/e2-190/e195/e2-195".

that category covers planes that have a lot of different numbers of seats, and get to be almost as big as an a320, for a lot less pay.

Do you think that will change in a year when we have something different?
Maybe, but in the meantime, no Scope and work rule improvements.
For those who dont know this: SCOPE=JOB. WORK RULES=QOL.
Did I type that loudly enough?
The pay could be higher and I hate B6 for weaseling out of proper profit sharing, but talk to your reps at the roadshows and see if they think that PS or Health care would ever improve greatly even IF we did vote this down, re-elect another NC/MEC and **** and moan for another year.
Vote your wallet and QOL, not your ego or anger.
Easier said than done for us all I admit.

Don't forget the 15% DC retirement plus whatever you decide to contribute, grown at an average interest of 6% we'll say. Then let's say you would save an extra $25,000 towards your retirement under the new agreement. Compound that over a 30 year career.

I will say though, while I'm disappointed in how the 190s are viewed, I am very happy about scope. I bet every single one of us at one point in time while flying for a regional said we'd gladly fly a CRJ for enough money. Well, I'd rather keep the 'express' flying on property and have slightly under mainline rates if our scope, scheduling and other work rules are on par or better with the industry. Not everything is about having the highest pay rate.




Why do you say way behind? Delta E195 rates for a 12yr captain are listed at $206/hr. The TA has us at $207.20 on DOS. Not trying to argue, just looking to see if I missed something while going through the comparison guide (Which lists DL/HAL 717 rates). We're definitely behind on CS100/300 rates though.

The quote you referenced said it should be compared to the c series/717 In which we are way behind.

How much sacrifice to simply put a few dollars in the wallet. I doubt scope would affect you guys in one year. Go for more.

From wikipedia:
"The E195-E2 (EMB 190-400) will be extended by three seat rows from the E195 by 2.85 m (9.4 ft), and will accommodate up to 144 seats."


That is 6 short of a current A320, paid like a current E190. :eek:


Great deal for the company.



Um... Vote Yes?? Right Bubs??

The company would never do that...
