Not getting my hopes up that anything will change next time…been there done that. But I’ll continue to shout out the importance of it every chance I get…probably just wasting my breath though.
well it better not be going fwd. |
You know they just raised our pay by making us work harder right? What was once a 3 day trip say to Lima now turned into a 4 day with what would have been a high time day turn. Therefore they pay you min day for a 4 day instead of min day for a 3 day and someone else the extra 2/3 hours over min day for that last day.
Do the math on how much they saved there. You’re welcome you just paid for your own raise. Ready for all the yes voters to spam the yes button to anything presented to them. |

^^^^see? Your type is the problem with the B6 pilot group and union, and is all too pervasive. Thanks for making my point.
There is zero chance the company would have been able to weather the attrition/lack of applicants storm without a raise. You clearly can’t comprehend the “they needed it more than the pilots” part of the equation. To assume that B6 pilots would still be making $25 less is beyond asinine. Hope you enjoy your sht contract for the next 4-6 years. Especially those beautiful reserve grid(s)that lineholders didn’t realize would affect them too. Keep voting yes to the first turd you see though. Especially if there’s some fear put out by the union that you can’t get anything more now, it’ll take a couple years and there’s too much risk to say no to ask for more, and that you’ll get them next time. I agree at the moment it seemed we had all the leverage, and I voted no at the time. But never underestimate how much damage they would allow to prove a point. I don't think they could have held out long, but it turns out they wouldn't have needed to hold out long anyway. I suppose merger support would have been the next pressure point we could have forced if we didn't have a new CBA/extension. |

JB on last earnings call said they might barely break even in 2024. Labor is a huge cost. We are not a Legacy and don’t generate the revenue they do.
