25 year pay cap. What a joke. 12 years is a contract.

 

[fowingman]

i hate saying this, but thats not to shabby, i know that more is better, but the f.o's got about a 4 grand increase first year from current contract, , actually i should have asked that pay scale is that for a new scale for large turboprop, or is a scale for current aircraft, and if current scale does that mean thats a blended scale for large turboprop aircaft

F/O rates need to be polished.
People still need to pay rent. If upgrade is 4 plus years then that is 4 years of crap pay.
For 200 days a year on the road, $35k is not enough.

And why does a year 10 captain make 20 thousand less than year 25 guy? Don't they do the same job?

Close the gap. Have a pay cap at year 10.

The FO payrates don't need to be "polished", they need to be outright revised upwards to 60% of CA rates at a minimum. 60% of 3rd year CA pay would be $39.80 for a 3rd year FO...$5.63/hr MORE than the proposed rate.

I fly one of those unprofitable 50 seat CRJs and have a higher hourly rate as a 2nd year FO than a 4th year Q400 FO would under that scale. The Q would make Airways money hand-over-fist; demand fair wages for flying it!

Bingo.... Remember folks how this company has handled our Flowthru and how management has over the last five years made this one of the hardest worked pilot groups in the Nation.

US Airways is making tons of cash on the backs of its employees. Even with the captain rates that don't look to shabby for a Prop, FO's think long and hard. With our contract up in 09', the company said that we can't reneg. those rates in 09'.

Good Luck... I for one will vote it down.

 

[PropPiedmont]

Those aren't bad payrates for the Dash 8-1/2/3.

 

[greyskyracer]

Are theese the same rates that the MEC just turned down?

 

[ex j-41]

Realistically this is a min $50k/year job.
US Air is making close to $500 million this year.
For each F/O to make $5/hr raise then they would have to charge each customer $.25/hr of flight.
Peanuts. Half those people are buying $4 starbucks.
Enough is enough.

"Taking it back"..... Whatever.

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

No... Not only no but hell no.

FO rates need to come up. So do the CA rates actually. I would like to know how many years we would have to endure these rates as well. I for one won't be a slimely bottom feeder... VOTE NO!
