So many of the "NO" voters talk about the less than $2300.00 pay cut some very small number of pilots will have to take if this TA is passed. They are so focused on 75 hrs of credit vs 83 hrs of credit they forget about the majority of us who stand to enjoy a substantial pay raise.
For Example: currently I am at the top of our pay scale. Over the years I have averaged 90hrs of credit per month. Here is what I stand to lose if this does not pass.
Year: 2016 Credit Hrs: 1160 x $90.00/hr = $104,400
+ $23,000
Total for 2016 $127,400
In 2018 if I credit the same number of hours:
1160 x $122.00/hr = $141,520
Pay Difference $14,100
I do not understand why I should take a $14,000 pay cut so someone can sit at home and only credit 75 hours/month. I get it some new hires and Reserve guys may temporarily credit less than 75 hours/month. However, over the life of the LOA, unless you choose to credit 75 hours/month everyone stands to make substantially more than they are making today.
