Horizon Air Pilots Petition NMB After Nearly Four Years of Contract Talks

[NWaviator]

We need to keep our pay and get out work rules back. Then we will have the best contract. A rumor from a friends, friends, ect. The final straw that broke the camels back was:
Company wanted a 5% cut across the board and the union would only accept a 4% cut for captains. 401K from 10% to 6%. The work rules and QOL would have been much improved. They also wanted us to join the PBP from profit sharing. That is what i heard.

Remember when G.B. was running the show!!??
"juvenile delinquents in uniform" remember??

I think some major changes happened after all that.
4 years of negotiating without a contract and guys/gals on the street.

Fly safe, fly very, very safe!!

The same crack that lets senior RJ capt's make around 120 grand a year, that's what.

You think they should be making less?

It's all ALPA's fault.

It's all ALPA's fault.

Well, one could argue that it is. Because if ALPA wasn't busy helping management whipsaw pilot groups, a livable wage would be made by RJ pilots.

Very well said.

Fixed it for ya.

Fixed it for ya.

If it aint broke, don't fix it!

And the mainline guys had their shot at those little airplanes. But it seems they need to make up for the lack of "disco stick" and could only fly the big airplanes.

Well, they have their big airplanes, and a little paycheck. I don't even think their paycheck would cover a year supply of Enzyte. In the mean time, I'm sure a sock would suffice.
