Suck much narrative?

Fair points, but the “centerpiece” as you put it was not RJ scope. It was a rather large increase to to pilot CASM via pay rates, work rules, and benefits increases.

You got me with your eloquent rhetoric and indisputable facts, awe shucks

Yo legit.

30% and legit

No you swallow narrative.

Pilot CASM rose by 30%?

Dude, yo, that is just dumb!

Maybe if we flew fewer ASMs. Maybe!!

Another remedial math student. There’s plenty that could be better, but you are wrong here. We gained a lot in terms of overall compensation, QOL, VACA, etc. I’d say to the tune of about 30%

Oh. “I’d say”.

Next time say: “I guess it might be to the tune of XX”.

Vacation is only 1 week for 1/2 the pilot group .... next year.

CBA Base rates for most is equal to PTOSB plus our old base rate.

To date both of those are a net zero.zero%.

Since y’all don’t want to show your work here’s mine:

I’m middle seniority and middling longevity.

My pay rate went up from $126 to $156 per hour (20%) Plus the original 401k 13% on the increase (1-2%) plus three percent to 16% 401k contribution, brings us to 25% in cold hard cash. Not to mention the staffing and thus seniority increases for better rigs, reserve rules, vacation allotment. Add the $1/hr VEBA allotment, increases in rates for premium flying, etc. I’d say 30% is not far off.

If those same pilots want to monetize their vacation under the new system they can. And they’d come out better than you are trying to let on. Not to mention the relative seniority bump they gain via an increase in vacation allotment and reserve rules. Plus their pay rate bump and their 401k bump, and their VEBA account, and btw the scope and other QOL/job protections that are legally binding and cannot be removed via email as they could be previously

In summary, we got a 30% pay bump, but we also got pretty darn good scope, although the scope was probably not the centerpiece most voted on. But it was nice to have, kinda like the rather significant pay, retirement, vacation, work rules, and seniority increases.

Finally, the original poster can sleep well knowing that ALPA is in the house as not a bunch of blue babies from bluepilots.com who are running the show in the event of a merger. Not that it will be a deterrent from their incessant whining though
