Why did you guys/gals take the "link" down to the .pdf file, that showed the actual rates?

If I missed the sarcasm I apologize.

In the mean time, you guys got what was coming. I have an entire crew of friends still at SKW and they all voted for ALPA, not because it was ALPA, but because it was a UNION that would allow them to COLLECTIVELY BARGAIN.

Sorry to say but you guys have really lost touch.

We're not flying 143 hours we're just getting paid that and flying 85-90. I average 125-135 and most of it is at 150% pay while only flying around 85 hours per month. This month I blocked 78 hours with a credit of 127, 15 days off and 18 hours was wat 150% pay.

Not bad when you learn to work the system.

I'm pretty bummed. Thought first year would be at least 23, if not 24. I can't believe we actually lost ground in certain areas!!! I'm definitely voting No. If SAPA had any testicular fortitude they would organize some kind of way for us to show our discontent (like picketing at an ALPA airline).

Personally I think we should organize something ourselves. Anybody for wearing red ties?

I believe someone did try to organize you and you voted no. I'm wishing you guys the best but if that doesn't happen then a lot of people are going to be saying "I told ya so".

Just curious how you manage to pick up that much time. I understand you can get additional flying from other members but crediting as much as you guys say you are seems a little hard to swallow. I am envious of you on that part. However not on the rest

What are you getting credited so much for that you aren't flying?

"Dood, we dont need to organize. Our management doesn't lie to us. They acutally care."
