"The “REQUIRED” retirement contribution you talk about is a union bargained benefit. Something I hear flex pilots have been trying to get."
"The difference between fleets fdp is something we are hoping to rectify."
What did you mean by these two statements please? I am a RAC looking at both also. Thanks

the difference between fleets fdp means that some fleets fly significantly more than others and therefore the pilots in those fleets can make significantly more money in the same amount of work days. A new hire pilot in the XLS will likely make at least 10K less than a new hire hired into the 350 at the same time and working the same amountbof days overall. This isn't very fair so we are hoping the next agreement has some mechanism that evens it out at least a little bit.

Want to stop paying me extra? Release me for three days in Hawaii with a rental car so I can see something besides four walls.

But that doesn't incentivize you to not fatigue. They only want you to not F bomb when they tack on more flying to your schedule. That's it.

Of course, I agree you should get a strait across pay raise no matter what you are doing, you guys deserve it. I'm just using managements argument as to why they will resist.

You don't go off duty. And on top of that you get paid more when they add the leg which is why people take it instead of fatigue. That's my point. Why pay you more to not fly when they can only pay you when they add more legs to the day...
