Most reserves get between 85-95 hours, and they work their ass off to get it. The union pay proposal is a wash for them.

Thank you couldn't have said it better!

Well that's great for that doesn't happen on my end! Being senior and bidding last out works well!

Any JFK/LGA 900 captains who sit reserve P3 on here.... how often are you getting used? Average flight hours per month? Are you typically able to get released from day-4 or day-5 of P3 or does skeds use you every single day? Thanks.

Most people will benefit much more with a pure hourly rate.

I'm not working for free.

Just looked at my stubs, and I credited 75.5, 80, and 76 the past 3 months, line holder, with no pick-ups. A far cry from your 100 on RSV. Me thinks something smells strong and wrong in Denmark.

Anything less than $25.56 is a pay cut for anyone on property in the past 2 years. And even at $25.56, it's still less pay than the more senior guys got back in the day, right?

I'll vote no for anything less than $25.56. I was hired at 75 hours guarantee, I get paid at 75 hours, and I see anything based on 83 or 85 hours as a pay cut, period.

And don't give me any of that BS about the 401K increased contribution. It might be a good thing. It might not. Won't know until one is taking it out. Had anyone here tried to take money from their 401K in 2007/2008, they would have lost their pants. Many have just started breaking even in the past year or two.

It's only a pay cut for those that average less than 83 hours a month.

For those that average more it is a raise.

Don't get me wrong I'll take the more money option, but the problem is we need to get what we can while the fire is hot, I've seen it turn the other way too many times to wait "because we can get more" down the line.

I see a trend that it's the guys that only fly 75 hours that have a problem with this.

For everyone else it's a benefit.

I have a problem with the word pay-cut in this environment. It's unethical to rob Peter to pay Paul.

It's not a paycut, it's an actualization of a temporary Retention Bonus.

It's a raise because the bonus will go away.

And it's more money than now for most pilots on property.
