You may be thrilled about 30 bucks an hour now, but a few years down the line you're going to realize your future was mortgaged for Esau's bowl of soup!
I hated the people who said "I paid my dues so you should have to" when I was in training. Now that I've been at the regionals for a while and have paid my dues I still hate people who tell others below me that they should be paying their dues. I'll never say it to another pilot. Lets fix this profession.

So sad...

I'll say it again, but pilots will never be happy. You could give each person 1 million and someone would ***** and say they deserved 1.2. This deal is better then 2/3 of the other regionals. Most other regionals are giving up planes, routes, and even days off. That didnt happen here. Pay went up, while admittedly not enough to keep up with inflation, but show me the last few airlines where it does! It's not great, it's good though and it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

Interesting that not one SAPA rep or financial wizard can tell us what the PPS will pay out or would have paid out. Smoke and mirrors by design?

I thought someone on the SAPA forums had figured a bonus of around $1300for FOs and $1800 for CAs if you credited 500 hours in the first two quarters?? Maybe that was just based on the guaranteed minimum?

I can't wait to see AWAC's new TA... An airline with an already better contract and a future not nearly as promising as ours.

Really? "As far as we know"? Nobody thought to resolve that during negotiations??? SAPA is engaging the company to work out the specifics... Really??? AFTER the vote??? I can save SAPA the trouble of asking because I can pretty much tell them what the company is going to say...
