So is it hourly rate or work rules? I can’t keep up🙄.
So is the difference between bitterness and happiness 5, 10, or is it $19 dollars an hour. Are you now unfulfilled if you are making a few dollars less than your peers. Really is that the angst? Do you have to make the most🤔

So last year I hustled, I made $560,000, am I happier then in previous years? As of the 3-5-23 check I have made $163,000k… I would have a hard time selling the idea to my peers that I have a terrible job. More then $50k of that 163k is a bonus… What was the bonus at HA, B6, and even DA for that matter for 2022… Jobs you love, guys and gals that know their worth😉? Come on what was the number? If I take that 50k and pay it out over 12 months hourly, it would add roughly $50 an hour to my 2023 average rate, which will be $312 hourly, without the magic that’s coming. For you HIGHLIFE men that is 312 + 50 = $362… that’s $362 an hour at B6 or HA those contracts the angry 30 love so much… they really don’t get a bonus, you know that right, it’s just hourly rate at those places.. did you know that? Now who is the sucker? You clowns will never be happy because you were born that way, stupid and bitter… some life, but yeah you are the smartest in the world, you see in color, just ask yourself.

Agreed. Delta has TONS of 5 day trips on the 737/320 and 100+ hr TAFBs.

So you admit, no number would make you happy. You’re only happy so as long as you’re Delta +/- $1. What makes you think any Delta pilot would settle for being paid less than an Alaska pilot? If I was Delta, I’d say no to any 737 payrate below Alaska.

Delta + 1 snap? Then Delta says we want AS +1 snap and we enter an infinite loop.

No, no, no…the bitter bunch can’t see any of that with thier blinders on.

The diff OTZ is that you don’t work under the Alaska Airlines PWA. You rep the 1%. The volumes of garbage left in the “Mandate Contract” impact the rest of us. The further you get from SEA the more you are impacted. Only 10% of pilots will benefit from all of the “self induced” disaster language found in the Mandate. The vast majority of us will not ever see 150-200% pay. We will instead be impacted by losing 5 hrs of guarantee. We won’t benefit from the improved reserve rules until after 2024 which is half way through the life of the Mandate. Kinda like the new car you bought from a dealer.. Stoked for the first month and then the realization that you kinda got screwed sets in and you are embarrassed to admit it

March junior line holders on the Bus/73 had 16 days off… I think I got maybe one month with 16 days off 4 years in and it was awful for commuting. Not sure how the new work rules are but I’ve seen the lines and it’s still plenty of 15 or less lines.

Imagine. Defining your happiness with what someone else makes.
