There are a LOT of butt hurt ex-TMC pilots that lurk on this forum, many of whom seem to wish the whole ship would sink. (And many who actively tried to sink it with bull**** maintenance write ups, fatigue calls, etc when they did work here) However, in the last year and a half, the new management has really turned things around. The pilots we have currently are a great group by in large and many of those who rightfully did have gripes with the old management are not around to see the way things have turned around, yet continue to try and tarnish the “reformed” TMC.
Much of the information posted on the forums about TMC has not caught up with reality. Last year, we got an increase in perdiem to $55/day ($65 international), increase to entire pay scale (year 1 FO pay based on 8/6 schedule is $276.44/day, goes up to $300.48 year 2). Company pays up to $200/yr for Uniforms, 11pm go home day guarantee or get paid full extra day, train on your days on, 16 days vacation with 5years or more seniority, major maintenance is in house again (and I can honestly say that reliability has increased because of it). A typical day is a 3 leg day but 2 leg days and 4 leg days are not rare either.
I have to admit, I was nervous when the teamsters went away, yet Duty on/off times remain, and minrest is pretty rare (and when it does happen, it’s usually because you’re doing or staging for a next day recovery flight), but with the new in house maintenance, and noticeably higher reliability rate, recovery flights have decreased dramatically as well (at least I don’t seem to be doing them as much anymore, I don’t have access to the actual statistics).
It sure will be interesting to see how the new WU relationship works out, but given Wheels Up’s reputation, I’m not too worried.

A. Per Diem 59.00 a day here. International is the same.
B. The 16 days vacation for 5 years would be welcomed!!
C. We get midnight as our day 8 pay, but if you do get in passed midnight 500-650 dollars is our I’m sorry about that pay.
D. 100% pilot and family medical paid for is huge for some pilots.
Lately the work schedule has been similar. I say it’s more luck of the draw of which tail you get assigned too.

This is the best self serving reply I have seen yet. Is it bitter ex employees or a bitter company? So you basically said that you are reaping the benefits of those who were pro union before you who were a huge part of getting the benefits you just mentioned. Then you call bull on the fatigue calls and MX write ups. Seems to me you are a confused person. Also, how is the retirement and healthcare going? Glad that raise helped pay for both those things. Sounds like you are really winning over there. Damn those pesky union guys that are no longer there! They made things better after all, but lets go ahead and blame them for that companies bad reputation.

Get-home-late pay is the same for everyone, regardless of seat. $500.
