Accepting a contract that leaves money on the table is concessionary. That's exactly what we did.
Some people complain that you don't want to pay ALPA a cut of your pay?
Newsflash- you've already given away a cut of your paycheck when you voted yes to that contract, but instead of going to ALPA for benefits from them, it's paying for airplanes for the company.

Flight instructors have more leverage than regional pilots, because they can vote with their feet.
The only way to win is to get out (or get really lucky and a catch good wave such that you retire before your regional reaches the end of it's natural life cycle).
You have to decide for yourself whether the benefits they do offer are worth 2%. But they'll happily take your money either way.

Our pay raise didn't even match inflation. My spending power will still decrease next year when compared to this year. That is asinine.

Average? Go look. They destroy our ppm in every sense of the word.
We get MDG. You drop a turn? Lose MDG. They still keep it.
We get TONS of lco crap in ot. They do not go to work for less than mdg. Open time is MDG*1.5 as it should be.
Their payrates are also way higher.
Everything about their contract is way more "industry leading" than anything Russ wants to shove down our throats.
Go read and learn, what we have is a joke

I checked Republic, air Wisconsin and an AA WO and didn't find that.
So how about you point us in the right direction.
You want to get paid for dropping a turn? Who gets that?!

Now QOL on the other hand...it might be worth a union right now to try and get some QOL rules locked in. That was why I voted yes in 2006...didn't think we needed it, but wanted to lock in the QOL we had at the time, just in case. Guess I was right about that one.
