Cape Air TA 1st contract
 

Lol, looks like Cape Air will have a better contract than GoJets!

Cape Air has a lot better than most regionals. I have never worked there but fly out of their base and have a few friends there. It is a company you rarely hear anything bad about from their employee group. They are doing many things right over there.

Well I only flipped through it briefly. But good for you guys.

What's the difference between a 402 Capt and 402 PIC?

I only skimmed it quickly but other than the 1 hour call out for reserves, (we get 1:45 or 2:00 depending on base) everything I saw looked better than the Pinnacolaba joint contract.

PIC is a guy with less than ATP mins. Usually flies the mail route from cape to islands.

The contract may look good from an outside point of view but we already have better work rules currently without a union. Also, our pay increase will only cover the cost of the union. If we vote this contract in, we will be getting worse work rules for the same pay. Can't see how anyone will vote yes.

Also the contract takes away the extra $3 an hour currently offered if based in the Caribbean. ($2 per hour for MVY and ACK) So some guys/girls will be taking a pay cut.

Is this duty or flight time? Last I recalled u guys got paid duty?

They pay duty time:
40 hr. Min Guarantee/week X 15.24hr X 52 weeks = $31,699.2
easy to do overtime at 150% + summer incentive + profit sharing
1st year not hard to make 40K
