RS4 airbags... just when I thought I'd seen it all - LOL. (owner of a 2002 S4).
Have no idea what the amount of dues collected is per year, and yes, it's true, the Admin Assistant (secretary) to the ALPA president makes more than most of our F/O's.
That's not a sign that ALPA admin is overpaid, it's a sign of how dramatically WE are UNDERPAID.
My buddy who has no degree has a job with Verizon as an assistant manager and makes over $60k. My ex who has no degree has a job in a medical office making $60k.
The aviation profession is, as a whole, a joke in terms of compensation packages. Time, indeed, to take it the hell back!
2007' RS4, fun wheels.
I agree on the income assessment but now is not the time to negotiate a contract. This perilous economy gives management way too much influence to kill a wage increase. The economy is always cyclical and the time to pounce is near the top of the curve.
I would advise any pilot group to wait 24 to 36 months to ride this storm out.
