You're not making much sense. A key difference here is that you guys are at (or near) the bottom, in terms of pay and contract. We were not. Another key difference is our company went through our union, as it should have. We said no because paying new hires more while making everyone take concessions wasn't in our best interests. So, the negotiations continue...Your company went around your Union for a reason, and that certainly doesn't benefit you.Originally Posted by Crjreg007
So what you're telling me is AWAC offered new hires more money by the way of first year pay increases and not the rest of you? Maybe because paying you guys more doesn't make sense because you're not leaving for other regionals? My god sounds like your airline did exactly what I'm saying ours is doing. But you guys waited what 5 years for that offer? Did you use all of your leverage? I though companies understood you had to make the contract better for all pilots? Also I don't feel stupid about your 1.5% raise because your 5 years as an FO still made less than our CAs that upgraded in under two years will make in 5 years. Much less at that. Your 1.5% doesn't fill classes but our quick upgrade sure did.
Just remember that our leverage was and is weaker because others choose and still chose to fly for less and not work to improve their own position... Also remember that you took just concessions and now the company pays bonuses to only new hires. You are paying those new hires our of your own pocket. Enjoy!
