Dropped the ball? Far from. You don't waste negotiating capital on people who aren't on property. If the pay is preventing the company from getting quality candidates they will become very eager to go back to the negotiating table. In exchange for higher first year pay, the association will seek improvements in the contract that will help pilots who are on property and paying dues.

I agree with you. It’s nice to be picky because of the massive amount of apps vs. taking anyone with a pulse and a medical.

That’s true and a lot of them don’t want to take the paycut to $56 with $1750/mo for two months with no health insurance. And quite honestly I don’t blame them. We as group dropped the ball on new hire pay and benefits. I hear already in this big hiring push we are starting to get some “interesting” folks just like right before the contract.
First year pay everywhere else except frontier is about $90 with healthcare and 15-16% retirement contribution from day one.

I’d also would like candidates that also have some self worth aren’t just happy to be here because it’s the only place they could get on and it’s better than a regional or better than xyz foreign carrier or better than 36th street cargo in Miami. A solid handle on the English language would be nice too so we don’t sound like Mesa when we show up in LAX or ATL.
Not saying everyone we got right before the contract or now when we need to fill lots of classes is like this but our new hire package certainly doesn’t get 60 a month of the best.

I start 9/23
House is up for sale, boat is up for sale, and my year old truck is for sale. Small sacrifice to have Job security and great retirement in my book.
Small family here wife 3 year old and a dog.
Thankfully I was able to save some cash from the Corporate world and will help us through the first year.
