Mod,
Funny you should mention yearly raises for inflation. Did you know that this raise (as big as it is) still lags inflation since the last raise. Yes, that extreme.
Seen in that light, you can sure ask for more.

Need to pay a lot of money.... Company has been making $$$$$$$ on the pilots time building back for a long, long time. It came to an abrupt halt.

If they home base, it will open a new door. 7 on 7 off, home based. I'm all in.

They won't be able to do that until they hire more pilots. 7 on 7 off would end up being 15-30 block a month on average. That may make it hard to attract pilots.

It would also be hard to do with runs where there is no air service directly to where they start. Such as Del Rio, TX. Unless you were to swap mid-week and hold everyone at the outstations over the weekend. Not only would it require a doubling of staffing, but it would require a massive increase in hotel/layover costs.

Ain't gonna happen unless UPS & DHL are willing to pony up a LOT more money.

BTW, what percentage was that $4/hr that was turned down? Your regional airlines pay isn't based on 160 hours per month. The pay structure at Ameriflight is different than airlines where pay is based on flight hours. So you can't really compare a $1.80/unit raise at AMF to a $4/hr raise at a regional airline.

The percentage that voted down the 4$/hr pay raise was 85%!
A big NO to the company, let's say.

Yes, it's true that you cannot compare AMF pay to the regional, in fact we can fly no more than 100 hrs a month but we can credit more, it's two different things.
Bottom line you can work less for more money.
As a matter of a fact when I left AMF to go for a regional at the first year i was making 4-500$ more per moths working less days, because of the per diem that is not paid at AMF but it's paid at regionals.

BTW, I have heard of at least one pilot who had given his notice to leave for a regional that has asked to retract that notice since this pay raise was announced. Doesn't sound like the terrible thing you seem to think this is.
In the last 20 pages of this forum only, those are the users who spent some time to talk about the low pay at AMF:
atomatoflames and the pilots at his base
whatsright
arrjay
wstcstmag
eman #2120
airhun

and of course i did not want to read more than the last 20 pages.

You know, it never ceases to amaze me how someone would put in so much effort to try to convince other people NOT to go to work somewhere.

Someone must have REALLY pi$$ed you off at AMF.

Maybe. But the rest don't seem to have a vendetta against Ameriflight.
