The last CS pay raise was only a couple of months ago, but it mainly applied to senior captains. You are right that they will probably have to raise the FO rates to stay competitive.

As for me, it doesn't matter why I get a pay raise. The important thing is that I get one. Hopefully, it will be without a 39 month seat lock and 8 day tours. But I will give credit where credit is due, it and when everything comes together.

Actually it's nice to know why one gets a pay raise so when can have an idea, if not a contractual requirement, when the next one might occur.

Will that be in late November of this year?

I am waiting patiently also to see what happens here at shares. I have to go on record here and say that I don't think we can keep up with the jones' on this one. I very much enjoy working at shares, but I dont drink the kool aid and I call a spade a spade. We will probably get a pay raise that will just be diluted later with an increase benefits costs or a reduction of available overtime. We have a good deal here without a union, but we dont have the best deal in the industry. And our good deals are a result of the indusry changes that the guys in columbus push for. Giving Fo's a 1000 dollars a year over NJ fo's at the last TA and then calling us the highest paid pilots in the industry when we average 2200 dollars a year in benefits reduction. Ok let me stop because this is going down the wrong road. I am a CS pilot, but I am a pilot first and have gone down the same road as many in this industry. When the uniforms come off at the bar it amazing how great most of us get along. I'll go on the record here and say what I feel is the truth, if some dont like it then tough. I pray for NJ guys to get the best deals possible for themselves, while continuing to allow the company itself to prosper. Thats the only way things will improve for the rest of us. Good luck on your TA, and my family and children thank you in advance for my next pay raise.

Skylawyer, good post.

That's true, as long as you keep approaching your company as individuals.

The other side of the coin is this. Can any company ie, regional, frac,major turn into a training site for the industry. My last job was one, FO's get the training and then 6 months later move on. At 20k a pop, can the rest of the indusrty have an attrition rate in the 20%, so that netjets can hire guys with experience and a type rating. Can CS and flex stay in business. Give me half of 20k and I will be happier for a while.

I'm jumping in here next to UG to shake your hand, Skylawyer. Great post! I like how you mentioned your family; please give them my best regards. I didn't know about the benefits reduction following the pay raise....that's awful... Comes under the tactic of robbing Peter to pay Paul, huh?

I agree with you that frac pilots share a lot of common ground and it has long been my hope that raising the bar at NJA will have a positive impact on the rest of the industry. Let the muttering begin at Shares! The closer we get to Vote Day, the louder CS pilots should become...
