I'm very pro union for the record
something something called leverage. If management wants it changed they have to pay up

Something something called screwing your junior people. No damn wonder the FO attrition to other majors is so high. Their introduction to NK is no insurance and industry trailing training pay, and the senior pilots are OK with it because “something called leverage.” Maybe if it gets bad enough there are downgrades the senior guys will realize the union has a responsibility to everyone, even those barely on property.

Wasting your breath unfortunately, they're getting theirs even if flights cancel so they just don't give a fudge

Cool.

Keep your upgrades until we move the bar for all pilots on the list. I'll wait.

I’d be surprised if they even ask this question anymore.

Avelo and every regional pays more than us for the first year. Applicants should be asking this question.
