With a plan for 115 aircraft on property by the end of year we are properly staffed currently, but if management doesn't do something to quickly improve PSA's pay/bases/career projections we will not be able to compete with other regionals to attract or retain our FO's needed to compensate for attrition.
Critical pay could quickly turn compensation around to industry average or better for those willing to work harder for it, yet our reserve grid is continuously being manipulated by management to prevent critical pay in a direct and blantant disregard for our contract. Contract compliance was something you were "promosed and not getting."
Pay, contract, and quality of life will only improve if we make them. Management has no desire to give a single cent over the absolute minimum required to keep the operation going. We must make them change things for the better by standing strong in the face of lowball offers, making our concerns heard by our union representatives, volunteering our time to help our union, and not allowing management to continue to violate our contract.
We are not paid what we are worth, we are paid what we negotiate.
