No offense, but I hope you get somebody with a little better grasp of the English language to write this proposal. I'm not sure anybody would take your current attempt very seriously.

 

Your correct the military flying isn't worth as much.

 

I think many need to take a realistic look at the passenger side of the industry and realize that this is the new normal. I don't mean this as a slam on anyone's career, just a realistic observation of what the industry is compared to what it used to be.

The passenger airline business model of years past could support a labor force with good wages, benefits and QOL. That isn't the case anymore. There is way too much competition and not enough people willing to pay realistic fares.

The public doesn't want to spend $5 or $10 on a boxed lunch, and is even more upset with spending money to check in their bags. The last thing anyone wants is more nickel and diming by the airlines.

 

You can have the job wright up the proposal. Some people have ideas and some people wright up proposals they don't always work hand in hand.

 

If you guys get that then your driver's will demanded it and you will be in trouble

 

What determines expirience?
Years flying?

How about a list that gets you paid based on hours
250 hrs for commericial license
250 - 3000 Min pay $25/hour then $.03/ hour flown which ever is greater
(3000 hrs*.03= $90/hour)

3000-5000 Min pay $90/hr then $.025/hr flown which ever is greater
(5000 hrs *.025= $125/hr)

5000-10000 Min pay $125/hr then $.02/hr flown which ever is greater
(10000 hrs*.02= $200/hr)

10000-20000 Min pay $200/hr then $.013/hr flown which ever is greater
(20000 hrs *.013=$260/hr)

You top out at $260.

Need to have 2000 hrs to be a captain and get a 10% bump

Instead of pay raises based on years we get cost of living bumps.

Certain sized planes require certain levels of expirience (ex: 7000 hrs to FO a B-777 and so on)

This levels the playing field amongst the airlines. If you are a passenger you might pay to fly the airline with the expirience

These numbers are arbitrary but an example, pick your own numbers.

The guy who gave me my ATP checkride had over 66,000 hours logged and a picture of himself dropping a bomb on the battleship Yamato.
Yes that is expirience.
If you are a military guy you bring your time. Military guys get a little early compensation based on limited training costs (out of pocket), years of better pay on the way up. Yes heavy guys get more time than fighters guys. It might create more flow between airframes.
You sacrafice a little to live the dream of flying a fighter.

Lets see I would make 5232 * .02 = 104.64/hr

I have 17 years flying and make $60 per hour. That would be a $45/hr raise!!!. Yes I would like to get paid for expirience

Just a thought Boogie

 

I agree you should get paid more, but why should an airline hire a 17yr pilot when they can hire a 5yr pilot with half the experience (and half the cost under your rules) to do the job?

 

Boogie Nights

I like that you are adding to this thread. Good Job. Your idea could really level the playing field for pilots. Thanks for thinking about solving the problems of our industry we need more people like you.

 

This is what threads such as these remind me of:

Baseball. Specifically if guys in the minor leagues demanded that they somehow get paid to mirror what major league players made 20 years ago.

 

Very true...
