As I said earlier Hopalong, the pay will be determined by the rest of the sections. You might just look at the pay section when voting, but I don't. And yes, I know the job you do. I've done it. Your contract and job description has not changed since the furlough. So there's more flying, fine, but you aren't doing stuff like managing the aircraft, working with the FAA directly to get various approvals, getting your own slots during ski season, etc. You aren't the only hard-working pilots out there.

No one said we were. We just said what we're worth. You think you're worth less than that. Fine. Don't drag us down with you.

Also hop, since you don't believe NJA has an industry leading contract, then who does in the frac world?

Fair enough, that you would like to see the rest of the sections improved as well.
We are pushing for that as well. Lets make this conversation interesting. What percentage of a raise do you think we are worth? Everyone else please chime in as well. Lets talk numbers people.

Hey you can wish in one hand and poop in the other and see what gets filled first. Just consider me a realist.

Naw. I consider you a pessimist.

Have you kept up on inflation? The purchasing power of a dollar today is a lot less than in the past years...

Why do you think because we have a current industry leading contract in the fractional world, that we shouldn't demand for an even better one???
It is this defeatist attitude that will be our demise until you wake up and DEMAND your worth!

Like I said, be sure to say thank you when we raise the bar. Many of these arguments were said in 2004. We managed to get the impossible then too.

2004, In the most perfect private aviation economy ever. Those days are long one, kemosabe.

Nope. They are ahead of us. Re-read "the perfect storm"

You are wrong. Read "Reality bites". No way WB coughs up more than 10%. Good luck.
