Bingo.I'm wondering if the 41% (as opposed to a more reasonable figure of 20% or so) is the result of two things:
1. Guys who are livid that the recent LOA was signed.
2. New-hires who have had plenty of face time with Dave (because he was new-hire basic indoc. instructor) but no face time with Allen to hear him explain things in person.
With extra points to option #1 with anyone who was on the fence.
I d*mn near voted for DP since AP (or someone helping work his campaign) couldn't even be bothered to return my email questions regarding negotiating goals in respect to F/O pay, reserve pay, and the JA LOA.
Pissed me off, but I finally chose the devil I know versus the (management) devil I don't, even if he was a GREAT guy in indoc, and went ahead and voted, even though I was pissed.
Maybe a lot of guys who have been here more than 3-5 years don't know SWA pay rates, but the rest of us hired in the last year or two more than likely do.One thing I would have done differently in the polling would have been to tell guys up front what the SWA pay level is and what ours is. Don't just ask them to pull a target compensation figure out of thin air.
I'd LOVE to see SWA pay rates here... would also love to know that those numbers are what the NC is shooting for, by aiming HIGHER initially, then negotiating down.
