I suppose some of us do, I made $203k last year as a 5/6 year reserve CA…not good these days. Also, that’s with only 12/13 days off a month.

Sloped pay scale that somehow got in the last contract...Again.

Yep, when the people negotiating it are at the top of the scale I don’t think it’s really focused on. This is the third contract now it’s been like that? Even with it sloped it’s still not easy to make $250k as described.

Any contract that only beats other current contracts is a failure. You have to meet or exceed the new round to have anything worth voting on.

I remember the Contract Comparison we had before the 2018 contract. Every changed. It was before the Legacy carriers got their raises.

Our 2 MECs have already met. They had talks at ALPA National to start planning
