Are we all supposed to think that amcnd is a fellow pilot? I think it is rather insulting to have him here, a professional media person, trying to direct the conversation.

Here he wants to stop the discussion in several ways:

1. He says civilized discussion won't happen on this website. Basically he calls us all a bunch of Neanderthals. He wants everyone watching the debate to view this as the thoughts of the uninformed and dim witted.

2. Next, he wants everyone's initial reaction to be discounted, after all we have all had a week to get used to the news that this is all we are worth.

3. He claims the "civilized discussion" is happening in the airport, overnights, and crew lounges. Is that under the watchful eye of management? Who talks like that? I imagine that they had about 6 of them an entire 8 ours trying to figure out how to phrase it like that.

I have not seen anything uncivilized in this discussion. I believe that what he, I really believe I should be saying "they", don't want are facts and logic brought into the conversation.

CRJ flying in China, pay ranges from a low of 165,000 up to 235,000.

Skywest wants to go from 65 an our up to 66.30.

Here is another one 16000 to 18000 per month plus yearly bonuses.

https://jobs.flightglobal.com/job/14...OB-RecruitNet&

There is another one in London at 120,000.

These are new hire contract salaries, not after 15 years like in the US. The overabundance of pilots is over and salaries need to skyrocket to be an incentive for enough people to come into the field.

Just wait and you will get a lot more.

Instead we get vague emails that say "growth opportunities" and rumors flying left and right from people saying "I talked to____" "_____ sat in the jump and told me"

Seriously? That's how we vote for these things?




If "we" have a brain "we" vote NO, because this is pathetic.

Mesa's new TA bullet points:

Here is a sunmary:

CRJ900 and 900 Classic become one payrate after two years. (76/79 seat).

MEC voted it in 7-1 to send to pilots.

200 pay gone, all soft time will be paid at 76 seat rate first two years then 79 seat pay after the payscale merges.

FO pay 36/hr starting.

Actual block or better per flight leg.

Hotel language with short & Long overnights as well as giving the hotel committee control over decisions and forcing the company to maintain a more watchful eye.

Aggressive reserve pickup.

Short Call (2hr), Long Call (12-18hr)

Bidding opens 10th, schedules out 19th.

Layovers of 28 hours or more have 2.0 hours added to the pairing.


Max CRJ 900 CA Pay year 1 of contract is 108.00, max CA pay after 5 years is $114.35

Max FO pay is $52.00 year 1, $53.50 year 5.

People can bid from seat to seat, captains only, only 1% a year, so for 1100 pilots 11 people. Then you are seat locked for 3 years with a 1 year training contract.

Contract increases yearly, on top of structured rate. Raises 6 months before contract ends, and then 1% raise per year until a new contract is settled.

Parking is paid for if you commute.

Commuter clause up to 4x.

Deadhead pay 62.5%

Per diem 1.60 plus $40 a month for iPads in per diem. Goes up by .5c every year on top of CPI.

401k 0-9 years company matches 50% of to 6% of pilot contribution.

10+ years company matches 50% of up to 10% of pilot contribution.

Company must now present buffer numbers to union and reasoning to make sure no unreasonable numbers are attained.

Min guarantee increases from 75.83 to 76

BTW, that doesn't do anything to make this sad offer any better...

I doubt it, that would actually cost them more than the entire current existing offer.

What's up with the crickets? Ever since RJ posted folks have seemed to disperse. I'm happy to say that out on the line the general vibe is to tell them to stick it up their a$$.
