If you're a junior captain at Sun Country, you're making good money. If you have financial stress while making upwards of $200k, that's a you problem.

PS. A jr captain at Sunny, year three, takes home about 11,000/month. A senior captain takes home, what, 40,000? Too many work and pay rules favor the line holder. And the pay scale is as far from step as possible. At AK only 28 bucks an hour seperates a junior ca from the most senior. At Sunny? It's 70 bucks! This all ends.
And perhaps you guys could button your top button.

Sunny Country didn't grow linear like a legacy. Your company hired the VAST majority of its pilots in the last three years. You're simply no longer the majority. All the votes, all the power is at the bottom. When we find our voice you'll hear us.

The company sets those rates. If the company improved reserve then the company would have the captains they need on reserve and wouldn't have to offer the hiked up premium. If the company paid reserve on a daily basis instead of a monthly retainer they would have the captains necessary. If the company scheduled more days off on reserve they would have the captains, remember 12,13 off a month is the minimum. They could give reserve pilots many more days off if they thought it would help their Captain problem. The company loves when the pilots finger point at each other. It's cheaper for the company to pay a little more premium here and there than rather fixing the issue with the balance of captains Vs. FO's. At some point they won't be able to grow.
I'll take 15 off as a reserve and the ability to stack a 250% trip over min gar.
If the MEC wants unity they'll need to, first, take care of the 3xxxx.

You're ignoring reserves picking up open time. It's industry standard.
The bottom captain and top captain should be split by less then 30 bucks. Do you agree? So in the next negotiation phase, guess who should be getting the raise.

But I know the next contract will have a slope benefiting the bottom. It's the only way it passes.
PS. And edit. The top button comment wasn't aimed directly at you. Sorry if it may have seemed that way.

What is the industry standard? Where is it written? Who decided what the industry standard is? Did we get to vote on it at any point?
