Pinnacle pilot *proposed* benefit BK cuts.
· Pay Rates. The proposal includes significant reductions in pay rates for Captains, ranging (according to the company) from 7 to 24% from current rates. There have also been further reductions in the proposed single First Office rates beyond one year of longevity.
· Pay Scales. The company has proposed capping pay for Captains at 12 “steps” and capping First Officer pay at 4 years of service. Moreover, the company is seeking a provision to require pilots who upgrade to begin at “Step 1” Captain pay, no matter their prior longevity as a First Officer (or, for pilots who have been previously downgraded due to a displacement, their time as a Captain). Such a scheme would be unique in our industry.
· Cancellation Pay. Replacement of our current leg-by-leg cancellation pay with the guarantee based on the value of a pairing (Trip Guarantee).
· Customs Pay. Removal of all customs pay.
· Vacation Accrual. For pilots with more than one year of service, vacation accrual would be reduced by one week.
· Recurrent Pay. Pilots will have their recurrent training blocked off in PBS but zero (0) credit will go towards the line credit. Actual pay for training will remain the same.
· Uniform Allowance. Eliminate uniform allowance.
· Per Diem. Eliminate Per Diem on day trips.
· Move benefits. Eliminate voluntary move benefits.
· Reserve Days Off. Reduction of minimum days off for reserve pilots to 10.
· Deadhead Pay. Reduction in deadhead pay from 75% to 50%.
· Health Care. Instead of the two CDHP plans proposed in the May 8 term sheet, the revised term sheet includes only a single HRA plan, with a 35% pilot contribution.
• 401K. Reduction of the company match to the 401(k) retirement plans – effective 2013.
Almost like working for free !

honestly....i cant wait to see what shenanigans take place after this hits the waves company-wide. i can see the whole "we dont give a f attitude" already in place multiplying ten fold to the point of CX flights due to staffing, sick, fatigue calls, and straight walkouts. the sh*t has hit the fan.
the really funny part is mgmt really thinks most of us wont burn it down...ha.

I can only imagine what was asked out of the other work groups...what a disgrace! It may not matter what the pilot group does when the rest of the employees bail or stop showing up for work....

As an Eagle guy, this "scare tactic" shouldn't scare you guys. Management is always overreaching in initial proposals. That way you're more likely to swallow the later dates sh!t sandwich TA, and they'll think to their over-paid selves, "look at how much progress was made from then til now". Full well knowing that was there intention.
Stay strong and well-informed brothers! The only ones left to save this industry is yourselves. Wish you guys luck!

Well, if they get what they want they will be able to compete with G***t's.
I agree, Burn it Down, the first two weeks of august show you the leadership and how much control these people have in this airline then 9E is screwed.
Did you know they never once tested aerodata before aug 1, and it took so long to fix because the IT people left after they cut their pay by $8,000.
