From ALPA;
"TSA pilots have been among the lowest-paid in the industry and this new deal
will bring them closer to the industry standard with an average 11.7 percent increase
in captain’s pay and an average 14.5 percent increase in first officer’s pay."
So 11.7% for Capt's. and 14.5% for F/O's?
Weren't you guys near the bottom to start with for a 5 year negotiation
so that's basically an inflation adjustment to the bottom?
Surely the work rules are relevant also, but it pains to see
regional guys seem to get excited about inflationary increases to bottom pay.
Obviously you guys know every new contract agreement affects every other airline negotiation.
Do you want to be there for the duration of your careers?
Do you want your next company to site your low wages to justify lowering their's?
Just saying, we don't all work in an insulated vacuum from each other.
Wish you all the best, but imho this pay rate is far from it.

Seriously tho, you obviously don't know anything about TSA and our management. Good luck trying to get anything above industry standard. I'm not really holding my breath over this TA either but at least it looks like our pay will be average.
