As if the pilot group voted NO to a 2% raise but then responded on the survey that 3% was the sweet spot? That doesn’t pass the sniff test. Not buying it.

While we don't have the movement that they do, we have better work rules for earnings/pay protections. Pencil out all the hourly rates you want, work rules matter most and aren't represented in any of the APC profiles.

The problem is they are nebulous and hard to quantify. Also when a certain work rule is good, the company often schedules in such a way that they arent being utilized (see industry leading pairing rules and 5 hour calendar day rig). Almost every "benefit" you get is multiplied by your base pay. Rigs, LTD, STD, premium, etc.
Another thing to consider is that in order to utilize these rules you often have to "hustle", and come in on days off, live on flica, and generally spend a lot more time, unpaid BTW, being available to the company. When you price in all the unpaid time on flica, guess what? You are working for less. High pay rates mean you can skip that and just enjoy your off time.
Let's just stop the "but mah work rules" bs and raise the bar on pay for once.
