It's like this is everyone's first airline. Did you really think management was going to just give us a 50% raise on our amendable date?
It's a growing airline that sells it's own tickets and makes lots of money. Should you apply elsewhere, maybe... but it's not all doom and gloom.
The ULCC business model works. If you need an international planning room and gate agents that have been with the company for 35 years then this isn't the place for you.
That being said I'm not a low cost pilot and will not vote for anything less than industry pay rates.

Fair warning to applicants. Know exactly what you are signing up for. This airline has a regional mentality, operating Airbus. I am actively trying to escape. Anything short of a phenomenal contract I'll either be somewhere else flying or out of aviation entirely. I know it's off the beaten thread path but felt the need to post. Good luck getting out everyone.

You're really not doing it right then.
Our hourly pay rate is low, but let's not be ridiculous and start thinking a desk job would be better.

I agree it is funny, but if you can't feed a family of 4 on 80,000 a year, what are you trying to feed them? For the record I'm looking for United pay in the next contract too.

My 20 year old 2,600 sqft house with .19acres cost me $375,000 and the taxes are $11,000 a year. Day care is $800/month PER KID.
Are you out of your mind?
$80,000 is POVERTY in NJ

In mgmt's mind ULCC applies to all costs. Weare supposed to be a ULCPG to them (Ultra Low Cost Pilot Group)
