JB’s E190 rate is pathetic and should be at least JB’s A221 rate. JB’s A221 rate should be the current A223 rate. Dying fleet or new fleet not on property...these rates matter and this should have been a resounding no. The cost of training events will surpass the amount they’d have paid with decent rates.

You can justify it till your blue in the face. I’m not disagreeing with you that it should not be better. The reason it’s that low is that they were the nearest comparison with actual aircraft on property.
And to your point why didn’t they vote no? Because it only affected a small amount of their group? It should have been voted down.

The same guys that have 300 of their 15000+ pilots (2% of their pilots) flying it? Same guys who can bid off of it after a year and go to a much higher paying plane and never actually see the lower rate (so take that 300 number and change it to 150, since there are very few FOs actually on a low pay scale after first year pay which is the same on all planes)? Same one with an upgrade that’s like a year or two on that plane, so they essentially can be a E90 CA or NB/WB FO and make as much? Point is, it’s such a small and insignificant plane there, the rate on that plane is not worth negotiating capital, just like the ghost rates at DAL/UAL. For every plane on property that actually affects their pilot group, they have significantly higher rates than JB. If 1/4 of their pilots were flying E190s, they would put a lot more negotiating capital on the table to increase it. But since it doesn’t really affect anyone there, why waste it? Ditto for the 2 other legacies who don’t have them.

Now back to the actual constructive side of this discussion. ETOPS doesn’t require a separate bid class, it’s how the individual operator wants to manage it. However, like below the red line flying for us it does require currency and training. No one was talking about requiring anything simply posting how other operators choose to manage the same dilemma we will shortly be having. If there is one thing we all understand about JB is that they will do things there own way probably not the way any other carrier does it..

Have to disagree with you. Our negotiators 2 of which who I know personally are the most honest and absolute men of character you can ask for. No need for anything else if you can't trust. I think they stood up for our worth and some will never be happy.....ever.

I’ll judge them as negotiators based on the result they achieved, which in my opinion was subpar. That doesn’t diminish them as people or make them any less honorable. I respect the work they put in. I’m just disappointed with the outcome, that’s all. Sorry if I gave a different impression of what I was trying to convey.
