Well there is no point arguing over contract language as there is no contract. All I know for sure is that the policy use to be no FO to FO moves unless there was a company need for it. Any open FO seats were filled by new hires. That’s just the way it was and everyone accepted it. As the...
Before we had a contract at Flexjet, FOs couldn't transfer to another FO seat unless there was a company need for it, such as a retiring fleet or balancing. The contract, however, did allow for FO to FO moves, which is why you see former Phenom FOs in other fleets. As for your contract quote...
Yeah, senior red label pilots are paid well. Everyone else is below industry average. You can look forward to that pay in oh, 10-15 years maybe? Wouldn’t you rather be paid well for every stage of your entire career?
...Netjets = $438/day, $94,800/year
Year 7: Flex = $421/day, $90,936/year. Netjets = $484/day, $104,610/year
Year 10: Flex = $436/day, $94,176/year. Netjets = $560/day, $121,076/year (a 28% difference).
* Flexjet average days worked per year is closer to 208, unless you volunteer for more.
I'm not sure I agree. Skywest has never had a union, and they keep their pay fairly high so they do not have a negative impact on the industry as a whole. It'll be a different story if/when a company kicks out a union. It'll be the first time it has happened in the history of the industry...
You sure about #7? The way I read it, they can airline you in, give you 10 hours of rest, and then sim.
Where do you see the si glue engine raw data went away?
Not quite correct. To hold a leadership position you need 24 months of continuous MIGS. So if you’ve been paying since the beginning you are good, but if you just start now you can join committees but not run for leadership.
All this talk of lists is counter productive. The whole point of starting over with dues is to end the division in this pilot group. Calling for lists to be made up and trying to bully people into paying is going to have the opposite effect. Plus the anti folks love to use this talk of lists as...
KR's schedule of choice is the make-your-own. That's what they do on the red Label. You get paid a bigger bonus iff you do 7+ day trips but a lot of pilots ignore that.
GG sounds like a (reluctant) supporter, but he seems to be under the impression that FW (and others) are trying to form an in house union. Which is incorrect. If FW wins representation he will just step down and hand everything over to management. No contract, no union, no collective bargaining...
There is most definitely a percentage of pilots who signed a card thinking they were voting for an in-house union lead by FW. Which is most definitely not the case. You're signing that card expressing interest in NO union.
Yes the seniority and 50/50 rules are thanks to the union and the fence agreement. If FW wins that goes away and the airplanes can be staffed however the company wants (out of seniority just like it was before the fence agreement). Are you ok with that?
