I voted NO, and this thing is a big disappointment for 49 percent of the pilot group.
Any PSA guy who talks about raises and bad contracts can go right back to CLT and fester in the filth that they created by undercutting their industry, stealing planes from another airline, and setting us all back.

As an Envoy guy, I appreciate any workgroup who goes out and negotiates themselves a new deal. Whether you’re happy with the outcome or not, I applaud your workgroup for at least getting something out there for you all to vote on. Our management has said that as long as we are filling classes then there is no reason to raise the pay. It’s a sad day when your hopes for a raise are in the hands of scabs who are taking your airplanes every month. PSA getting a raise is the only way Envoy will see one.

I thank the Republic group for helping move the industry forward.

I wouldn’t count on management coming to the table with much more than a $5/hr pay raise to the WO any time soon. The Republic YES vote disrupts the positive pattern bargaining since their endeavor like pay rates don’t kick in for another two years.

Either way, it wouldn't have come anything close to Endeavor or Republic. The WO treat flow as a large part of of the compensation package and feel they don't need wages to match those that do not have flow. Envoy has no problem filling classes right now with their bonus and keeping people from leaving with the flow, so I don't see them adjusting the pay anytime soon. Why would they?

The amount of raise is irrelevant in pattern bargaining. You don't ask for $5 because that's what another airline got. You shoot for what their rates are whether that's $5 or $50 higher.

The amount of raise is a key lynchpin in pattern bargaining and in this case Republic pilot group took $7/hr raise at DOS... not really raising any bars and furthering gains in the industry.

On the other hand, the PSA pilot group has something that management wants, or at least a significant change in the way it's handled, and getting that should, and hopefully will cost them in the form of wages and compensation.

Geez, What's in the water over there? Your pilot group follows Bedford like the crazies in Waco followed Koresh lol. Back in 2001, we had just went back to work after striking for 89 days and that pilot group went into their 30 day cooling off period and wound up under cutting all the gains we made instead of demanding Comair +1%...ie, pattern bargaining. Just sayin...

Chautauqua got their CBA in October 2003, not 2001.

After this little event called 9/11.

After Jon Ornstein created alter-ego Freedom Air, leading Mesa pilots to sign an industry-lagging contract to scope Freedom out.

After Bedford attempted the same thing creating alter-ego Republic, which required CHQ pilots to prioritize scope over payrates.
