Well, Karl found his way to split the pilot group. Don't forget, a lot of stuff on that list is already industry standard everywhere else. They had no choice to put that in the contract, but they got cheap on the captain rates. The polling data must have shown that most people were OK with a lousy 737 + 1%.

Disappointed

Bingo!!!! Yup we got you industry std with concessions and call it a huge success. It’s what SWAPA does best. 737+1 isn’t career earnings and a slap in the face. But enjoy those 75 rates years 1-5. LMAO. How about 75+1 and increase those year 1-5 percentages? Nah can’t do that. I am far from not fixing those year percentages for those that are stupid enough lot think that. I think I’ve stated that several times. But keep the division. SWApA SWA LUV it.

This is the 51% solution they wanted. Bribe the FOs with 757 rates, bribe the captains with a fat retro check. Done!

Not this Captain. Guess I'll be a 16%er again.

Also, I find it funny that the same guys who have been screaming "I'M A NO" without having seen an actual TA are now berating people who are saying "I'M A YES" without having seen an actual TA.

(hint: neither is a smart way to approach this)

You guys are a hoot. Bring popcorn to the roadshow.

I said from the beginning they should release the whole deal without pay rates for a few days first, and this group did exactly as we predicted. Getting all wound up about rumored pay rates without seeing the rest of the deal. SMH.
The captains who are already throwing a temper tantrum about the FO's making 757 pay sure do sound like the "me too" FA's in the van. All while making $350-400k a year. Absolutely rich.

In fairness it should be equal if we’re targeting a certain airframe at the Big 3 for a comparative rate.

That said, I’m looking at the entire TA. There’s a ton of areas that we need to improve on and if they hit it out of the park on the other big items and secured retro that comes close to making us whole, then I suppose I could possibly be okay with being the highest paid 737 pilots in the world.

Another that likes to divide and doesn’t get it. That’s what is absolutely rich. Remember the yr 1-5 pilots hired now mostly will have a 35-40 yr career here. So count those 75 rates you will be on for a few years as a win. Just remember those rates they will be under for 30-35 years compound every contract and every raise. They would be fools to be swindled with 75 rates for such a short period. Both should be up there.

I never said a freaking thing about 757 pay. I think those leaked rates along with everything else leaked are mostly BS.
FO pay needs fixing. That's all I said. It is a company problem and the company solution is to fix it.
The thing is, if they do fix it, you rabble rousers will be wanking about it because it is somehow stealing from you. GMAFB. You sound like a bunch of cry babies. We are all in this together. Fix the B scale.
