Alaska, who’s contract substantially lagged the Big 4, made large gains in QOL and compensation.
-Union Control of Rotation Construction
-150%-200% premium pay for Re-Routes
-Introduction of PBS
-Long Call - 14 hours
-Training Day- 5 Hours
- 14.9/4/4 compensation bump
This contract was about moving their QOL up to the Big 4 and in a few areas they surpassed us. Previously, they severely lagged the industry in pay, their new 2022 rate is 7.4% above our current PWA(73N). 14.9% raise was not enough to match inflation during the period between their last contract.
Passed 82% based on substantial gains relative to their previous PWA.
Will the Big 4 also make substantial gains to QOL?

Moving to a MAX fleet Air group receives a %10 average revenue increase with a decreased operating cost.
Getting a %7 pay increase is an insult.
Also, salt in the wound, their wholly owned regional pilots earns a much higher Pay per revenue seat pay rate than the major. This is not including cargo revenue.
And for quality of life, bring up you standards to other air carriers is not an accomplishment for a 90 year old “legacy” carrier.

In talking with a Alaska pilot, their line bidding sucked already. All conflicts and trip touching was dropped WITHOUT pay, and they had to pickup something to get back to a min line, or Skeds could ASSIGN them a trip to bring them back up to assigned line value. Their present system sounded worse than PBS!

Richard move when you are an ALPA carrier. ALPA should take that out of their playbook. What happens when all the other carriers play this same game? Besides, the language is terrible and it will never be triggered from what I gathered when reading the TA originally. Multiple carriers would have to hit home runs. We know APA and United aren’t looking for home runs. And if Alaska is playing this game then we should too and put all of our energy into other areas focusing solely on QOL.
