Think about this for a minute, Anita. For the month of March, I was away from base (home) for 301 hours, and got paid for 73:58. Sweet deal, right? Us pilots are sooooooo spoiled!!

Our pay might have not changed in the last few years but our BENEFITS SURE HAVE... how is that nice charge for non rev on delta/united, or even on our own aircraft. Oh and the talk of ual going to increase the charge to 100 per person with a 400 cap. What about our Healthcare?
Its kinda hard to keep great moral with "TFAYDs"

I can totally sympathize with your frustrations, but honestly guys, our pay structure and lifestyle has been the same for a long time so applying to the airlines and then being frustrated by the reality simply means you didn't do your research.
Seriously though, its not the work/pay relationship, its the attitude displayed from the above people that has me mad. It is blatant and total disregard for their employees' QOL, which they want people to think they care about.
Oh, and everything BHopper said. It's a shame that we pilots are so willing to deal with so much crap just to do what we "love". The fact that so many other SKW pilots disagree with me on that is frightening. The "shut up junior, you gotta pay your dues" attitude is rampant here. We need to fight to re-gain the QOL that SKW was once know for. That goes for everybody on the seniority list, not just the most senior.

The group would do well to fight for improved work rules and pay. I fear that's as unlikely as the "one year upgrade" returning anytime soon.
