Come on you can say it JP, PAY CUT. The company has lower expenses from a lower payroll cost. Still won't compete with mesa or peenuckle.
Yes its a very small paycut for each ASA pilot. The real saving from PBS will be not needing to hire pilots to cover trips due to more efficient schedules. Combined with the extension of the current contract one year it will allow ASA to bid on RFPs at a much lower bid.
You're big on QOL Max. Tell me, would your QOL be better as we shrink in ATL and you become a reserve captain, or worse, an unemployed captain, OR, ASA expands and you gain more flexibility, control over your schedule?
Sacrifices must be made to today to reap the benefits of tomorrow. Stop thinking short term and think long term. These are trying times. We must be in survival mode now. As far as the pilot vs. management war to win a war one must choose their battles wisely. Now would not be the time to launch an attack or be stubborn. With attrition at zero the only way to move upward and see any kind of QOL increase is through growth. Lets work with these guys for a couple of years in 2011/2012 when the legacy guys start retiring and the company is sweating for pilots then you can launch your attack and be as stubborn as you want.
