Practice what your preach, troll.

Your contract is slightly higher than ours and because of pattern bargaining, you guys will get a 2024 1 time market rate bump, congrats on that. But calling NK pilots “bottom feeders” who are the lowest paid Airbus pilots in the industry is ridiculously inaccurate.

But thanks for the advice, Dad. Can’t wait for you to sling my gear in a shiny blue airplane down the road.

Why are you so mad? Why even try to defend our garbage contract? Just aceept its a pile of dog crap and lets get hungry to fight to be compensated the same as our peers.

There it is. It only took 6 posts on this thread for someone to be arguing against a leading contract. Sigh.....

Someone who apparently doesn't even work for NK (or B6)

Carry on

Hate to say it, but if you want Legacy Airline pay, then go work at a Legacy Airline.

Spirit is a low cost airline, and the pilots are paid accordignly. It is like a guy flying a BE1900 at Ameriflight expecting to make UPS 747 Captain pay. The single pilot BE1900 is probably a little more demanding and works more hours, but the UPS 747 Captain makes 6x the money (or more).

Different jobs, different pay.

Go to a Legacy Airline if you want Legacy Airline pay.

you want to explain the difference in job duties between A320 vs A320

Well that makes me feel a little better. If he's a dumbass at least he isn't one that will be voting with me.

There's enough dumbasses here for everybody. Don't worry.

I'm quite the dumbass myself.

I like to think that the real dumbasses were the dumbasses we made along the way.

Great to have, we don’t have it. But I won’t be lectured by someone telling me I need to do more, to get the same as a JBLU and a DAL pilot when he himself doesn’t get paid DAL rates and the only reason JBLU top is more than $15 more than us on the top is BECAUSE of the heavy lifting done by legacy airlines.

Please tell me you see the hypocrisy.

Also, their CEO at least has said on record that pilot pay will need to standardize across the industry. It’s A LOT easier to score a “me too” in the contract when the CEO agrees that his pilots need to make legacy comparable rates.

Yeah without Robin saying that, there’s no snap-up language….thank you Robin. The stuff I read on APC sometimes. 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is a bit off base

He said that it's easier to make such contractual gains when the CEO acknowledges that pay needs to be competive in order to retain pilots.

It worked out a lot better than Ted's approach of telling pilots to quit and go to work for the legacies.

I assure you that every airline CEO wants to pay us less. We got the snap up because we fought for it. Plain and simple.
