Yes. The soft money is where the difference lies. By looking at the pay rates you wouldn't think that a B6 E190 CA could make mid to high 300s but some do. There are Allegiant pilots who make that kind of money but they seem less common and are probably senior at the right bases.

I wasn’t referring to B6; their rates are significantly higher. Spirit, Frontier & Allegiant are all very close, within $2 to $8 per hour at various steps. If you’re saying Spirit guys do very well, then by default the other two are right there with them, or at least very close.

“NO VOTES” soap box.
I just finished 3 weeks on the road with a slew of different FOs. All good people, but I’m sick of hearing how everyone voted “NO”.
I didn’t see any of you posting on here or talking on the line while the vote was open. Now, all you want to go elsewhere because “the company slipped one by”. You guys voted this in, despite a major hiring boom and pilot shortage.
I voiced my (civil) opinion here that they knew COVID would end and they were trying to get a new contract quickly. And my only issue (but a BIG one) with the contact was the retirement matching.
Everyone had their opportunity to vote based upon how you saw things, but this isn’t my first rodeo. I’m sick of hearing how no one voted ‘yes’ for this contract.
Just be honest out there is all I ask. If you voted ‘yes’ admit it or just don’t talk about it. It’s here now, I dropped talking about and went with what the majority decided. Don’t talk to me for 8 hours on how you voted ‘no’. I didn’t have a lot of support on here when voting was open. (Everyone was always polite and willing to talk or listen about my concerns). This just seems to happen every time a TA passes, magically, everyone voted ‘no’.

Pilots can leave and an LOU can be written to up the retirement contributions. There is a vesting schedule for the first five years anyway. The only way the money in the retirement fund will improve is if the replacement training costs are greater than the 401k costs.

Survey
Thread Bump!!
New hire here and I received a ALPA survey asking what would keep me here at K4, if I was planning on jumping to purple or brown. I figure pay increases, much larger direct contribution to 401k (14-18%), better work, rest, DH, etc. rules are just some of the few things that need to be listed. I'm just wondering what some of the more seasoned folks here want to see aggressively pursued by our representatives. And what are we willing to do to ensure our quality of both work and private lives are addressed in the coming years? From my standpoint things are pretty good. But then again, I'm new.

Having our pilots on the same page and shooting for the same goal will align our bargaining interest and provide an easier path there.
I have said here or on the line, if you want purple and brown contract, go to purple and brown. That’s the easiest way management can see what pilots want. Just like flying … don’t hint and hope.

While it’s true not much will be gained by throwing it on APC, there is little to be lost.
