So this is what APA says they are asking for, it’s what we are asking for, what UA and DA are asking for, yet so many of you are so disconnected or ignorant you think there is some super deal coming. Look closely at those numbers below, that’s the industry! Eyes wide open, a lot of you are clueless!
278 + 10% = $305 DOS
+5% = $321 2023
+5% = $337 2024
NOW WB PAY is I think confusing many of you
$376 DOS, $395 2023, $415 2024…
Lonesomesky’s list… A lot of that will be missing, You will solidly be a no vote. Maybe that is your wish list but not the polled AS pilot wish list… Scope, Union controlled PBS, more flexibility, holiday pay, day guarantee, the pay below, schmuck clause, per diem bump, bonus, scheduling integrity incentives.
And you are not the bravest pilots of the last 90 years, you are just lucky, basic supply and demand gets you this contract, not the loud, angry, clueless 50… they have nothing, they will always have nothing, but they are miserable!
It’s almost done… It will pass with a 70+ % yes vote

The existing contract became amendable in January 2020. APA has proposed a contract with raises of 10% in the first year, 5% in the second, and 5% in the third, plus retroactive pay.
Sicher visited Charlotte on Thursday for a meeting of APA leaders. “In order to create schedule certainty and reliability in the fall and winter holiday schedules, management needs to get a tentative agreement in the next 30 to 60 days,” he said in an interview. “Right now, things are moving.”
Pilots are in high demand today. While the major airlines all say they have no problem hiring pilots, smaller airlines with lower pay say turnover is high. In June, American CEO Robert Isom offered a 17% pay raise. This disrupted negotiations at United, where pilots had been voting on a 14.5% pay raise. The 17% pay raise would have made American and United pilots even at the conclusion of the contracts, Sicher said.
